Psalm 4:3. “But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for Himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto Him.”
HIM THAT IS GODLY. O God, this is a hard situation. The pressure is on to submit to the desires of men rather than the call of God. My desire is known to Thee for I am acting on the leading Thou didst give me. The evidence is there that this is of God, for Thou hast used this clay vessel to produce the desired result. This work, this exercise of soul, was initiated and directed by Thee. Have mercy because of my fears, particularly the fear of man.
"You are acting like a mere mortal man. Do you not know you are a child of God, a son of the King? The work I gave you to accomplish was to be for my glory. You have done what I asked, and now you are doubting. Do not listen to or allow the falsehood of those who love the “show” to turn you aside from what I have given you to do. Do you understand Me? I am your Lord. Think this over carefully.
I have claimed you, sanctified you, and given you the power and ability to do what I want. You belong to Me. I am not deaf. I understand what you said, and I'm aware of what is going on. Just keep in mind that I have called you for this work at this time. Do not sin by stepping out of line. Take a moment to consider what I have asked you to do. Settle down. Do not get overly anxious, but keep doing what you know is right. That means more to Me than anything else you can do. That is more important than the opinions of men who are unsettling you. Trust Me. I know what I am doing, and you will see it will work out right in the end."
Thank You, Lord! How could I have looked anywhere else? I know better, and yet they seemed so convincing. I am here in Thy presence, and everything seems so clear to me now. My heart is at peace; the problems and pressures seem so insignificant when I am here before Thee. I am at rest and am so relaxed that I am ready for a good sleep. You have made everything so right! Thank You and good night. I will be talking to You as soon as I wake up. Amen. ---- And thanks again!
