Arguing at the Judge's Bench
Wednesday, November 4, 2020
I only came to the Lord because I was nearly killed when I was 19 years old. I was hit by a locomotive train. And to add insult to injury, after being hit by the train, I was given a summons to appear in court. I came prepared. I had arguments, defenses, and photographs... I approached the bench and began the presentation. But the judge didn't want to hear any of it. He just dismissed the charges. I was still trying to give the presentation as my father motioned, "He just dismissed the charges, leave the judge alone, and get out of the court!" It was a sort of foreshadowing of salvation. And even now as believers...so often we try to convince God to bless us, to love us, to provide for us, to protect and defend us. But we don't have to. He's the One who had to convince us to be saved. He loves us freely. And gladly He has chosen to give us the kingdom. So stop trying to convince God what you want. And let Him convince you of the love and blessings He wants to give you... when you rest your case at the Judge's Bench.
From Message #1288 - Gladly
Have you been presenting your arguments to the Lord about something, again and again - Why not today ... rest your case! Be still and rest in His love.
