The history of the world and the Bible contain the rise of ages and nations as well as their destruction through disasters. Nations and ages that have shunned and left God have met with cultures of darkness based on idols; shamanism; and fortune-telling and disasters such as wars; calamities; and diseases. You need to see what God wants today while properly understanding past history. Then, what does God desire today?
1. One Experience That Confirms It as Mine
There’s a promise that God has given solely to you. If you realize that and hold onto it, your life will be seized by God, and you’ll live a life that fulfills His will. From the day Joseph grabbed hold of his God-given dream in his heart, he became a man moved by the Spirit of God.Genesis 41:38 In today’s verse, Samuel also heard God's voice, and after hearing it, he was used by God. 1 Samuel 3:1~9 Those who have this one experience won’t be shaken, will hold onto God’s Word, and change the field.
2. From That Day Forward
You are a child of God and have been created in His image. Furthermore, God’s Word is living and active and revives the spirit, soul, and marrow. To meet God is to enjoy the infinite potential and vitality that He has already given you. In addition, He has given you answers that transcend both the background of the throne of Heaven and time and space so that you can save all peoples and nations that are wandering and suffering because they don’t know the Gospel.
If you enjoy the time of the light to uncover what God has hidden from you, then your life will be set anew.
Dear God, right now, please shine the light of creation. Let those who remained arise and through the Gospel, enjoy the answer of the light that saves the whole world. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
* Are You the Spiritual Summit?
It can feel like trying to grab a floating cloud. Your reality may look dreadful. You aren’t financially rich; don’t have good health; possess bad habits; your grades and specspecifications are awful, and you have many concerns regarding the future. Yet, you still call yourself the Summit? It may sound vague, or even hollow, to say the least. Then, is God torturing you regarding hope?
It's not a matter of having “a good critical eye with no executive skill” or having high ideals, but failing to put them into practice; instead, the blessings that you’ve already received are tremendous. The issue is that you can't understand them through your level. God wants you to start with nothing, without any visible possibilities. Rather than your own efforts and abilities, you must utilize God's power that opened paths in the wilderness and made rivers in the desert. That’s God’s method to lead you to the place of the Summit. Because God has called you in that manner from the beginning, you are the Spiritual Summit.
