How to Obey The Heavenly Vision

In Acts 26:19, these words are recorded: "I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision."

Oswald Chambers added this commentary to the verse:

"If we lose 'the heavenly vision' God has given us, we alone are responsible— not God. We lose the vision because of our own lack of spiritual growth. If we do not apply our beliefs about God to the issues of everyday life, the vision God has given us will never be fulfilled. The only way to be obedient to 'the heavenly vision' is to give our utmost for His highest— our best for His glory."

Live Constantly In His Presence...

Jesus' primary concern was to be obedient to His Father, to live constantly in His presence. Only then did it become clear to Him what His task was in His relationships with people. -- Henri Nouwen

Let's live constantly in His presence... others are depending on it.

Insight

Today as I was reading and praying in Psalm 119, in the Message Paraphrase of the Holy Bible, these eighteen words from verse 34 resonated with my deepest desires:

And so I pray the eighteen words again now, My Lord...

...Give me insight so I can do what You tell me -- my whole life one long, obedient response.

In the name of the One called Wonderful. Amen.

ALL JOY!
