Greetings -
In the natural, there are credit ratings that determine where we stand financially and relative to what we can receive on credit from institutions and establishments. But what about that which pertains to our Lord? What is our credit rating with HIM?
Recently, a couple of days in the a.m., I did brief time in our Lord's Word and in prayer rather than my usual lengthy a.m. time. There were some matters that I felt inclined to attend to which placed me in the brief a.m. mode relative to my communion with our Lord. Those couple of days when I did that, our Lord said, "Your credit is good." That being the case, He revealed that I had "clearance" to do those brief a.m. exercises on those couple of days. When our Lord uttered those words, I rested in my spirit about the brief a.m. choices. The afternoons were used to make up for the a.m. brevity.
I haven't felt inclined to regularly depart from my daily in-depth a.m. communion with our Lord but I was glad to hear from Him that our relationship is such that He assured that my spiritual credit is good.
It is a glorious place in GOD to be trusted by Him. The more that He can trust us, the more of Himself He will reveal to our spirits. When our spiritual credit is good, we are ripe instruments for more profitable usages - all for the glory of GOD!
Let us pursue, in earnest, the best credit ratings in the realm of the SPIRIT.

CREDIT RATING
ReplyDeleteHi, Sandra!!!
ReplyDeleteSpending some time catching up on your posts after a very busy week. I enjoyed your "Tampa Times" story and found your public praise testimony fascinating! You are like my hubby, he loves King David and Paul, and his also drawn to more "radical" characters. He is rather "intense" when it comes to faith and the spiritual realm!!! That's what drew me to him, lol! I enjoy reading your posts and your heart for the Lord shines through so brightly!!!
Hmmm...I wonder what my "spiritual credit rating" would be? That would be a good question to ask of the Lord!! We must continually examine ourselves to see if we be in the faith, and heed God's evaluations!!!
Blessings to you!
Spiritual credit rating - what a great thought!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that I have proven trustworthy - and that the Lord will loan me more opportunities to serve Him. That He will trust me to manage my faith well.
I want to multiply the "talents" He has given me - and make His Word profit to everyone I know.
GOD BLESS, Sandra - and I think your credit rating is A-one!!

@Mining for Diamonds
Isn't GOD wonderful for leading public praise?!
Yes, that is fascinating.
You expressed about your husband, "...he loves King David and Paul, and his also drawn to more "radical" characters. He is rather "intense" when it comes to faith and the spiritual realm!!!
I love that, Mining for Diamonds - I love that!
@Sharon
I believe that you have indeed been proven trustworthy, Sharon. In truth, you can get approvals from our Lord with ease. When He sees you coming, he just waves you through to partake of his bountiful provisions!
Thank you so much for your expressed confidence in what our Lord has placed within me. At this
stage of my journey, it especially ministers!
Yes,and to pray without ceasing - know what that means.... that we will have less time for "what-ifing" and more time to take those concerns to the Lord - while walking, while driving etc. Less time for our brain to go off on tangents and allow the enemy to plant things which should not be there because they do not line up with God's word... wow - now to just remember this NEXT TIME....
ReplyDeleteI want to build up my spiritual credit! I want to serve the Lord, learn and grow in my relationship with Him.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful the Lord does not lay demands before us like you "must" spend 2 hours every morning in prayer and Bible study.
Blessings,
Ken

Amen, lady - Amen!
@Ken
I love that you expressed, "I want to build up my spiritual credit."
One of my friends said to me yesterday that GOD is NOT religious - He is relational. I'm so glad that GOD isn't religious in a perverse way. I am reminded that perverted religious people crucified our Lord Christ.
My belief is that we need to spend daily time in our Lord's Word because I believe that the Holy Bible supports that - such as in Joshua 1:8 which states, "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then though shalt have good success."
As for how much time is to be spent daily in communion with our Lord - that is a matter between GOD and each individual...as the Lord leads...
Hi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say I agree 100% in your reply to my comment. O that time with God is so precious and important.
Blessings and keep sharing your heart for the Lord.
