My Utmost for His Highest Daily Devotional

My Utmost for His Highest Daily Devotional

Now, I am all set and ready to leave except for one thing. I remembered that it's a good idea to have breakfast first- so I reached for a bowl of Vector cereal and poured some Soy Milk.

I decided to read the daily devotion (here) while having my cereal. What amazing confirmation (IMHO) of my thoughts earlier (see previous post).

God is good!!

Daydreaming about something in order to do it properly is right, but daydreaming about it when we should be doing it is wrong. In this passage, after having said these wonderful things to His disciples, we might have expected our Lord to tell them to go away and meditate over them all. But Jesus never allowed idle daydreaming. When our purpose is to seek God and to discover His will for us, daydreaming is right and acceptable. But when our inclination is to spend time daydreaming over what we have already been told to do, it is unacceptable and God’s blessing is never on it. God will take the initiative against this kind of daydreaming by prodding us to action. His instructions to us will be along the lines of this: "Don’t sit or stand there, just go!"
