The Commission Of The Call
Colossians 1:24
“Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for His body's sake.”
Key Passages
We make calls out of our own spiritual consecration, but when we get right with God He brushes all these aside, and rivets us with a pain that is terrific to one thing we never dreamed of, and for one radiant moment we see what He is after, and we say - “Here am I, send me.”
This call has nothing to do with personal sanctification, but with being made broken bread and poured out wine.
If ever we are going to be made into wine, we will have to be crushed; you can not drink grapes.
I wonder what kind of finger and thumb God has been using to squeeze you, and you have been like a marble and escaped?
My Own Thoughts
A lot of this one is over my head. Sometimes old Os rights a little too thick for my pea brain to comprehend. But I at least got a few things from it, and the main question I have is exactly that last key point. What area is God working on in my life that I have proven elusive to being crushed in? Where am I not allowing God to work in my life and to change me for His use?
God show me where I am not allowing you to work. Break through my sometimes thick skull Lord and show me where I am not allowing you in. Make me into broken bread and poured out wine for your kingdom Lord.
