Whispers of His Power – JANUARY 27

Becloud my sky, deliver me.
From all that would ungratefully
Becloud my sky, deliver me.
All things, without a single exception, are in the hands of our Jehovah Jireh. Nothing can hinder His purpose.
Let us never look only at the clouds and forget the blue in the sky. There is far more blue than grey.
…there is nothing too small for the love of our Lord Jesus to understand and to remember.
The lesson the disciples missed is that eternal life is not only about following Jesus (even the Rich Young Ruler wants to do that) but also about leaving things behind.
The Gospel is not about receiving – what’s in it for me?
But about leaving the past in dust and ashes – which is a reward in itself.
Tell them what has been done for you, not long ago, but perhaps an hour or two ago, or yesterday, or last week.
His eyes were not fixed on the sad interruption to fellowship and joy, but on the hour when Peter would be back in love again, never again to grieve his Lord like that.
Love, the truest, deepest kind of love, gives and goes on giving
Let us refuse to listen to the ‘I’ that clamours within us as we set another before ourself.
If we come to our fixed times of prayer late or unprepared we lose something that cannot be recovered.
