VERNITAS Devotional HOT Coffee is being SERVED! TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT THE LORD TO DO FOR U TODAY? TODAYS SCRIPTURE: LUKE 18:41 Saying, What do you want for Me to do for you? He said, Lord, that I may recover my sight. Then Jesus said to HIM, Receive your sight, your FAITH has made you well. Is there something in your life that not only DISTURBES you, but makes you a disturbance to others? If so, it is always something you cannot HANDLE yourself. “Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet; but he CRIED OUT all the more . . .” (18:39). Be PERSISTENT with your DISTURBANCE until you get FACE TO FACE with the Lord HIMSELF!. Deify common sense !. DONT YOU DARE sit calmly by, instead of CREATING a DISTURBANCE, serves only to deify our common sense. When Jesus asks what we want Him to DO for us about the INCREDIBLE problem that is CONFRONTING us, remember that He does NOT WORK in COMMONSENSE WAYS, but only in SUPERNATURAL WAYS. Look at how we LIMIT the Lord by only remembering what we have ALLOWED Him to DO for us in the past. We say, “I always FAILED there, and I ALWAYS will. ”Consequently, we don’t ASK for what we WANT. Instead, we think, “It is RIDICULOUS to ASK God to DO this.” If it is an impossibility, it is the VERY THING for which we HAVE to ASK. If it is not an IMPOSSIBLE THING, it is not a real disturbance. And God will DO what is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. This man RECEIVED his sight. But the MOST IMPOSSIBLE THING for you is to be so closely identified with the Lord that there is literally NOTHING of your OLD life remaining. God will DO IT if you will ASK HIM. But you have to COME to the POINT of BELIEVING Him to be ALMIGHTY. We find faith by not only believing what Jesus SAYS, but, even more, by TRUSTING Jesus Himself. If we only LOOK at what He SAYS, we will NEVER believe. ONCE we SEE Jesus, the IMPOSSIBLE THINGS He does in our lives become as NATURAL as BREATHING. The agony we suffer is only the result of the DELIBERATE SHALLOWNESS of our OWN HEART. WE WONT BELIEVE; we won’t LET GO by SEVERING the LINE that SECURES the BOAT to the shore OF THE ORDINARY—we prefer to worry. TODAYS PRAYER OF ACTION I praise You that all I am is Yours. Oh, that I could delight You as the lily does, or the tree, or even the sparrows, just living the life You have granted! TODAYS DECLARATION I WILL LET GODS SUPER INVADE MY NATURAL TODAY !
