What Would You Like the Lord to Do For You Today?
Is there something in your life that disturbs you, but makes you a disturbance to others? If that sounds like you, it is always something you cannot handle yourself. "Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more" (Luke 18:39) .You should be persistent with your disturbance until you get face to face with the Lord Himself. Don't deify common sense. To sit by, instead of creating a disturbance, serves only to deify our common sense. When Jesus asks what we want Him to do for us about the incredible problem that is confronting us, remember that He doesn't work in commonsense ways, but only in supernatural ways.
Think how we limit the Lord by only remembering what we have allowed Him to do for us in the past. We say, "I always failed there, and I always will." Consequently, we do not ask for what we want. Instead, we think, "It is ridiculous to ask God to do this." If it is an impossibility, it is the very thing for which we must ask. If it is not an impossible thing, it is not a real disturbance. God will do what is absolutely impossible.
The blind man in the bible received his sight. But the most impossible thing for you is to be so closely identified with the Lord that is literally nothing of your old life remaining. God will do it if you simply ask Him. However, you have to come to the point of believing Him to be almighty. We should find faith by not only believing what Jesus says, but, even more, by trusting Jesus Himself. If we only look at what He says, we will never believe. Once we see Jesus, the impossible things He does in our lives become as natural as breathing. The agony we suffer is only the result of the deliberate shallowness of our own hearts. We will not believe; we will not let go by severing the line that secures the boat to the shore-we instead prefer to worry.
