Andrew Murray who lived in the 1800's and during the first two decades of the 1900's writes in The Holiest of All, "The more the soul is filled with that glory, and worships Him (the Lord) in it, the more it will see with what confidence it can count upon Him to do a divine and supernatural work in us, and to lead us to an actual living fellowship with God as our Father. Let us turn away from earth, let us meditate and gaze and worship, until He, who is the outshining of the divine glory, shines into our very heart, and He, to whom the Father hath given such a place as Creator and Upholder and Heir of all, take that place with us too, and be to us the beginning and the centre and the end of all."
What beautiful words penned so long ago, yet filled with relevance for today's world.
Where are you placing your confidence? Has an age old rift separated your heart and led you into placing your confidence in the temporary things of this world only to later discover that the very things you have invested in are empty and meaningless? Did you work tirelessly to build a private empire, to amass great collections, or to one way or another sell your soul to the devil in exchange for something you thought you needed in order to be happy, fulfilled, or at least feel important? It is not too late to change all that. Not at all. It only requires a true desire on your part. Would you like to have that desire? The Bible promises that when we ask and we seek the door will be opened to us.
