The Daily Word of Righteousness

Passing Through the Waters, #21

The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. (Jeremiah 23:28)

One of the greatest needs of our day is for saints who are true prophets of God. By "prophets" we mean those persons whom God has brought into an intense relationship with Himself. The Lord's true prophets love all the Lord's creatures with a godly love, but they themselves are not part of a group, except as they participate in the necessary and wholesome aspects of church life. They do not approach God as part of a group but as someone with whom God has made a unique covenant.

The conquerors are God's chariots. In many instances they know and love God much more than they know and love people. God chooses all their relationships and guards these persons who are expressions of His Life with the greatest jealousy and care.

After all has been said and done, after we have passed through the necessary judgments, the end result is a simple doing of the will of the Lord Jesus. Paradise was given to man originally, but no one can hold something given to him that easily. If we are to hold things of value we must become worthy of them and must truly appreciate them.

The glory and joy God has for each person who attains to what God has prepared for him is far beyond our ability to describe. There is one right way to the glorious end and a thousand false paths. How blessed is the individual whom God preserves from the snares of the wicked and brings at last into union with Himself through Jesus!

Eternal life in the Paradise of God awaits the true lovers of God. These who seek and follow God with a perfect heart obtain unspeakable joy and peace for themselves and are a source of life and blessing for the remainder of God's creatures. By their diligence in serving the Lord they save themselves and those who hear them.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. (Psalms 84:5-7)

There are waters to swim in for the believer who follows on to know the Lord. (from Waters To Swim In)
