John 12:35 “Walk while ye have the light,
lest darkness come upon you.”
How much of my life is spent walking in the
light? How often during my daily routine am I seeking out God and His will?
When I get a vision, do I leap boldly in faith and do what God wants of me? Do
I refer back to past inspirational moments given by God as accomplishment
enough, or am I always seeking His direction on my journey? Do I fight the
darkness with Holy Spirit power?
Chambers cautions, “Beware of not acting
upon what you see in your moments on the mount with God. If you do not obey in
the light, it will turn into darkness.” I feel this so deeply. In recent months,
I have received what I believe is divine inspiration on several occasions. I
have felt God prompting me to do certain things so strongly that I begin
shaking with excitement. Unfortunately, when I share these concepts, I get
thwarted easily by other people’s opinions. What Chambers says is true: when I
do not act in the light, the darkness comes. I lose the exhilarated feeling I
had and, after just a short while, the vision grows darker and darker. As I sit
here, I am wondering why I consult anyone but God about these insights. I have
always been a pleaser, wanting validation and affirmation for ideas or paths
that I am led to go down, but isn’t inspiration and vision from God enough? When
He illuminates something so clearly for me, why do I need anyone else to see
what I see? When God calls me, I should always listen and step out on faith, no
matter how unqualified I may feel. As my pastor says, “God does not call the
qualified, He qualifies the called.”
Why do I seek anyone else’s sanction but my
Saviors?
