Reading: I Corinthians 7
My Verse: "Only let each one lead the life which the Lord has allotted and imparted to him and to which God has invited and summoned him . . ." (7:17).
My initial response to this is "How, Lord"? "How do I know to live as You would have me to live"? But as I meditated further on this verse I began to find comfort and ease of mind.
For, no longer do I need to flail about as though blind. As Your child Lord God - You lead and guide me. As long as I remain faithful to Your precepts - You will direct my steps. Even if I mistep - I need only repent of my disobedience and You will put me back on the correct path - back on my appointed Way!
I quote Tozer here. "The man of true faith may live in the absolute assurance that his steps are ordered by the Lord. For him, misfortune is outside the bounds of possibility. He cannot be torn from earth one hour ahead of the time God has appointed, and he cannot be detained on earth one moment after God is done with him here. He is not a waif of the wide world, a foundling of time and space, but a saint of the Lord and the darling of His particular care" (We Travel An Appointed Way).
How wonderful is that?
"The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore" (Psalm 121:8).
I am truly blest to be counted as one of Your saints, Lord. Thank You for saving and keeping me.
Ditat Deus - God Enriches!
