Do you ever feel like the Lord is stirring up your nest? I do. I was so comfy in my little spiritual nest. Then I began to feel the Lord Jesus nudging me, making me feel uncomfortable. Urging me to come up higher to soar the heights of His love and wisdom. I want to go but it’s just so comfortable where I’m at…I hesitate to venture out. But there He is, gently, patiently but persistently calling me to come up higher. I know it is best for me to heed His call. I need not fear the heights for the closer I get to him, the safer it is for my soul. I cannot stay at one level for long. The devil is more ruthless and aggressive than ever, in a frenzy to kill, steal and destroy the souls of mankind, he knows he has only a short time left to do his dirty work. So I begin to be more diligent in asking, knocking, seeking that I might find that higher place in Jesus. That place of power, peace and safety…close to the heart of God. In prayer, devotion and obedience, I want to soar, high above the clamor of this world, to be able to hear His voice as He speaks words of love and direction for my life. I want to make a difference in this world, not just for time but for eternity and passionate prayer coupled with loving obedience is the only way I know to do that.
As Christians we will always climb higher and higher during our lifetime until at last we are Home with Jesus. I can hardly wait for that day!
Thank you Lord for stirring up my nest and bearing me on the wings of your love, joy and power. I don’t want to be lazy and complacent. Time is too short and You are coming so soon. I am not promised tomorrow. I want to follow your call today and everyday I live. In Jesus name, Amen!
“As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:” Deuteronomy 32:11 (KJV)
