"The Staggering Question"

"...And He said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O lord GOD, you know." Ezekiel 37:3

It is a staggering question whenever the Lord God asks you your opinion on a thing! Think about the times when you have heard the voice of God prick your heart with riveting discourse or just a simple query as to what you were doing or what you should be doing.  Did not your heart burn as the revelation poured out of the Spirit of God into your hearing?

Never trample in with righteous common sense and say, "Oh yes, with a little more bible reading, devotion and prayer, I see how it can be done!" It is much easier to "do something" than to trust in God.  We mistake PANIC for INSPIRATION.  That is why there are so few "fellow workers" WITH God and so many workers FOR God. We would rather work FOR God than BELIEVE IN Him.

God has given each of us a vision of what we are (our natural inclinations) apart from the grace of God (and He only does it when His Spirit is at work). You know that there is no criminal who is as half as bad in ACTUALITY as you know yourself to be in POSSIBILITY. My "grave" has been opened by God.  The Holy Spirit continually reveals what human nature is like apart from His grace.

"...Agree with your adversary (sin) quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge (God) and the judge hand you over the the officer (Christ) and you be thrown into prison (which is separation and isolation  from God)." (Matt. 5:25)
