For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. 

Heb. 12:11

This was hard for me to get out. I have been lagging behind on getting episodes out. I have noticed when I don't spend the time preparing for these episodes, my day is more challenging. 

"Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."

- 1 Th. 5:23-24

There are stages in life when there is no storm, no crisis, when we do our human best; it is when a crisis arises that we instantly reveal upon whom we rely.

The time will come when we will have to go on our own. We cannon go with this person or that person. Let it be because our God is a way maker and He alone can grant us victories. Trust in God.

But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler.

Are you living in such human dependence upon Jesus Christ that His life is being manifested moment by moment?

There is always something to be done in the sense of "filling up"

The way He worked and lived among men must be the way He lives in you.

We are too much given to thinking of the Cross as something we have to get through; we get through it only in order to get into it.

If we are in communion with God and recognize that He is taking us into His purposes, we shall no longer try to find out what his purposes are.
