Today I want to share about the path of faith that God desires that we keep our feet upon. I am presently absorbed in a favorite devotional book entitled “The Seeking Heart” by Francois de Fennelon. I love his writings for they touch and convict me heart. Here is part of his devotional I was reading that prompted this devotional.
“Don’t worry about the future–worry quenches the work of
grace within you. When God gives you comfort, enjoy it.
Look to Him continually. Enjoy His provision day by day as the Israelites
received their manna. Do not try to store anything.”
His exhortation is to live in the present moment and provision of our Lord. Let us not try to store up the grace and provision of today for tomorrow or weeks ahead. May we understand that worry is what water is to a fire. If enough water is thrown on to a fire, it will go out. The Lord desires that we seek His face everyday, and He desires to provide us with the fresh bread of all that He is! He desires that our heart is ablaze for Him as we serve Him wholeheartedly in faith.
May we remember that the faith, comfort, peace, etc… we may have walked in yesterday are completely inadequate for the moment you are now in. Let us live in the present moment with our Lord as we live and move and have our being in Him!
