While munching on my toast this morning, I lazily flipped through the channels. Let me remind those of you who never get up earlier than 10 am-- there is nothing on TV for the early birds to entertain their brains while between bites of eggs and oatmeal. So I was faced with a battle, Sham Wow! or Beth Moore. She won. I'm so glad she did. I didn't have much time to lend to her. But she's quick moving and straight to the point so in the 10 minutes or so, I was fed to the brim. And oddly, at 5:38, I'm still chewing over those words I consumed so hungrily at breakfast.
The topic was Quenching the Spirit, or rather, how NOT to. She animatedly illustrated the dangers of ignoring God's moving in our lives. She urged us to remember that God who moved with the Israelites in the desert, moves with us today. The power of God almighty, who split the waters of the Jordan so that His people might cross to the land of His promise, THAT is my God. Today.
How easy it has been to forget that. And it's only Wednesday. I saw Him moving on Sunday. What limiting memory I have. I forget who God is and what He can do. What he HAS done. It's not that God is limited but that my finite mind doesn't understand, nor fully appreciate His infinite love, mercy, faithfulness, and grace.
God is always at work in you. You WILL quench the Spirit if you are unwilling to move with Him.
She pierced me with one concept-- God may call you to move on from a place He had called you, to a new assignment. If we, in our joy with what God has done, are blinded to what God is leading us to next, we will quench the Spirit. If the cloud of the Lord, moves on and we remain, we are in sin. The question is, has God moved on?
