discipline of dismay
7 stars|10 comments|March 15, 2008|487 reads
 
   " The discipline of dismay is an essential lesson which a disciple must learn.The danger is that we tend to look back on our times of obedience and on our past sacrifices to God in an effort to keep our enthusiasm for Him strong ( see Isaiah 1:10-11). But when the darkness of dismay comes, endure until it is over, because out of it will come the abillity to follow Jesus truly, which brings inexpressibily wonderful joy." Oswald Chambers-updated ed. My Utmost for His Highest.

 It's more like-waiting in the calm; before the wind fills our sails again and we are moved along. Do we accept where we are with God or do we say to him I deserve more. Look at what I've done for you why is this happening? It's a relationship that cannot be sustained on past obedience or sacrifice. How do we respond when we don't feel God ? Are we dismayed or do we walk on in Faith ? It's a relationship not based on emotion but on a decision. " I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back."

This is absolutely the truth. The bible says to endure hardship as a good soldier. There's always a test. We must endure and pass the test before God can elevate us in His next dimension. Pass this test so that you won't have to repeat it again!!! Believe me I know. Been through the fire and praise God for the refinement!!
