Trail Mix - 9.15.18


9.15.18 “What will it take to get us to live in the daily sufficiency of Christ? For Paul it took a "thorn in the flesh." Whatever it takes is well worth the pain to be able to find everything in Him and draw power from His resurrection life. God help us not to live in a sort of spasmodic dependency but in a steadfast daily devotion to Christ. Sometimes we must have the thorns to experience the triumph. Sometimes we must the valley to experience the mountain top. Sometimes the dark before the light! We need believers who will be mature enough to keep an “even keel” through the storms of life and not “tossed about with every wind of doctrine.” S. E. Trail

My prayer for you today is for you to rest in the sufficiency of God’s grace which He has promised to supply for every need!

1 Corinthians 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. KJV

“God does prefer one way of living over another. And that which He prefers is based on a bedrock commitment to His word and His ways. And the results are always supernatural. A TV camera crew was on assignment in Southern Florida filming the widespread destruction of Hurricane Andrew. In one scene, amid the devastation and debris, stood one house on its foundation. The owner was cleaning up the yard when the reporter approached. “Sir, why is your house the only one standing?” asked the reporter. “How did you manage to escape the severe damage of the hurricane?” “I built the house myself,” the man replied. “I also built it according to Florida State building code. When the code called for 2x6 trusses, I used 2x6 trusses. I was told that a house built according to code could withstand a hurricane. I did, and it did.” Obedience to His Word is critical when it comes to whether or not we are pleasing Him.”
