Salt-Lick #20 DISCERNMENT!
A Devotional-Anthology by Dennis Rideout
"Where there is no VISION, the people perish!"-Pr 29:18
"Now we SEE through a glass [mirror] darkly [dimly]; but then, face-to-Face..."-1Cor 13:12
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall SEE God!"-Mt 5:8
"Lift up your eyes on High and SEE!; Who created these?!"-Is 40:26
"The test of spiritual concentration [focus] is bringing the imagination into captivity. Is your imagination looking on the face of an idol? ANY idol? If so, your imagination of God is starved, and when you're up against difficulties, you have no Power [Light]! You can only endure in darkness. Never let God Give you a point of view {Truth, Revelation} which you do not instantly live up to {DO}! Growth in Grace is Measured by your Insight into where you are spiritually; God Says, 'Come up Higher!' to the Insight of your Character. Always be ready to face Jesus. The battle is not against sin or difficulties or circumstances, but against being so absorbed [busy] that we lose sight of Jesus Christ! Stop being religious {that is, using religion as a higher kind of culture}, and be spiritually Real! Don't even trust the finest saint who blurs your view [focus] of Jesus Christ!"-Oswald Chambers
"Since mine eyes have looked on Jesus, I've lost sight of all beside;
So enchained my spirit's VISION, gazing on the Crucified!"-Oswald Chambers
"God takes us up to the mountaintop...
Shows us His Grand VISION;
Only to take us back down into the valley again...
And hammer us into the SHAPE of that VISION!"-An old "Deeper-Life" saying...
Mala 3:16 [KJV] Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard [it], and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. {jewels: or, special treasure} 18 Then shall ye return, and --> DISCERN <-- between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
