Let us confess that apart from Him, we can do nothing!
Let us not steal glory that belongs to God and to Him alone.
We, without Him, can do nothing.
We, without Him, can do nothing.
Where then is boasting? It is excluded.
Let us not boast in ourselves or how He can use us-
rather let us boast that He can use us.
Because with Him, all things are possible!
rather let us boast that He can use us.
Because with Him, all things are possible!
Oh, that our focus and motivation may all be on Him and for His glory.
“Am I becoming more and more in love with God as a holy God, or with the conception of an amiable Being who says, 'Oh well, sin doesn’t matter much'? God never coerces, neither does He ever accommodate His demands to human compromise, and we are disloyal to Him if we do……Nothing can hinder God’s purpose in a personal life but the person himself…… It is extraordinary how things fall off from a man like autumn leaves once he comes to the place where there is no rule but that of personal domination of the Holy Spirit.” Oswald Chambers
Be (being) filled1- Eph 5:18- personally dominated by the Holy Spirit and abandoning all to Him, let Him lead. Asking Him to empty you of yourself and to fill you to overflowing with His Spirit, follow close. He will lead you on level ground and enable you to walk on your high places as you seek Him first. Be in the Word and in prayer to hear your daily assignment and to partake of your daily sustaining bread.
He will lead you and guide you for His name’s sake and for His glory. (Psalm 31:3)
1 "Be filled" Pres. imp. pass. "The idea of the word is 'control.' The indwelling Spirit of God is the one who should continually control and dominate the life of the believer.. The present calls for a habitual and continuing action. Passive could be permissive pass.; "allow yourselves to be...:". This is further supported by imperative (command)." From The New Linguistic and Exegetical Key to the Greek New Testament. Rogers and Rogers.
