LUKE 9:35. “And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, this is my beloved Son: hear him.”
UNFOLDING. What moves the Son of Man to allow us thus to share Kingdom work with future glory; and now a cross to bear? He clearly stated in words, precisely the cost He would pay – But He also told me what the world would give – lest I be cast away.
I may not see this side of heaven a view like His transfiguration. But by what I learn and read of Christ, in me is produced transformation That makes me aware the more I know of Him leads to further consecration And that in turn brings out of me some acts of practical sanctification.
When God opens heaven to speak to me, I don’t hear an audible voice. But almost always there is some truth that sets before me a choice. Am I going to use this day for myself or is there something in it for Him. Through reading portions of the Bible like this, it helps me know where to begin.
My ears are open and I hope it is true, my understanding also waits. To grasp some special meaning that will seriously motivate Me to not allow these hours to pass unused and unproductive; For my time and person are not my own; to Him all this I give.
“As a disciple learning of Thee, O God, I want the awakening of my soul to be such as to bring glory to Thee each day. If there is something to learn, may I have ears to hear, if there is something to do, may I do it as unto the Lord. If there is some where I must go, direct my steps. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
