"Without A Trace" -2

"Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places." (Psalms 109:10)

  So the point of all of that seemed to be dependency on God for everything, our direction, our resources, our way of thinking, and vision of what is ahead. This is the point I think I am getting from, "let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places." Oh, you did not get the memo? I was not specifically trying to interpret what was being said or teach on what was the meaning, not in that sense of the word; I thought I made my point rather obvious, I am letting God show me something positive in something that might otherwise be a curse. This is how it works for you and I, we don't get cursed, we cannot be cursed; that was the whole point of the closing Scripture from yesterday. It's like Balaam's attempt to curse God's people, as much as he tried to, he couldn't; even if he wanted to, his words were those of praise and proclamation to God's chosen people. To see what it is that I am trying to say, is that we need to look for God's direction and provision in our desolate places; those are the places where God will do His greatest work in us, when we are desperate for Him to speak and to give us His word. I mean, we can open up our Bible every day and get spoken to, it should be what we seek; but in our places of dryness and ruin, when everything else around seems of no importance at all, those are the times when God speaks directly into our individual hearts, one on one and to the point. As to the point of the "vagabond," and how that might look to those that are dependent upon God for everything, even their very life; it should not need any explanation, we are fugitives here anyway, so why should we feel at home...

"You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on a cross. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:5-11) NLT
