“Light from on high”
– Luk 1:78 (AMP)
Walking in your “Scroll”
One of the Sunday teachings that has personally affected my own life (and personal paradigm), was that of two Sundays ago. The Lord spoke to us about, what I would call, “walking in your scroll”. All earthly events (and probably spiritual events as well) have been pre-recorded in the “Books of God”. “…The court was seated, and the books were opened (Dan 7:10); “And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books” (Rev 20:12).
Before being born, God already laid out a plan for our lives. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them (Eph 2:10). It is our choice whether to walk “according to our Divinely planned, personal scroll” or take our own course. But what the Lord spoke to me about was, as Paul puts it, “forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead” (Php 3:13). Sometimes we get so overwhelmed with past errors, sins and failures, that we become spiritually immobilized. I remember the Lord saying to me some years ago: “I am not concerned about your CV, but about your vision”!
We certainly have to deal with (and correct) errors of the past but beware of not becoming so focused on “being fixed up” that we lose sight of the great calling God has for us for our future! In this past Sunday’s teaching we dealt with “seeking the Presence of God”, as His Presence is that which changes us – not our human efforts. We become what we focus on. This is what king David’s focus was: “One thing I have desired of the LORD, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in His temple (Ps 27:4).
May we all experience the blessedness of God’s Glorious Presence during this week!
