"Rise, let us go from here"
I get the idea, from all these sessions on rising up, that Oswald has the notion that we all sit around too much.
There are times in my Christian life that God wants me to wait for Him to point out His desired way, but there are also times, when the way has been proclaimed, that I need to move.
The reading for today concerns a different way of sitting around; dreaming about the plan. Once I get an idea of what God desires of me in a certain area, or a certain way to go, I can't gain anything from dreaming about how this will look or what the outcome will be. That all is in God's hands. He knows the beginning and the end, and my dreaming just tries to put my ideas of completion ahead of His vision.
Two quotes from this reading stand out to me:
1. Dreaming about a thing in order to do it properly is right, but dreaming about it when we should be doing it is wrong.
2. Dreaming after God has spoken is an indication that we do not trust Him.
For me the more comfortable, less threatening way is to dream, but the obedient way is to do.
God, help me to know what to do and have the obedience to follow through.
