Something to Ponder

Take the Initiative By Oswald Chambers
“Add” indicates something we have to do. We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God won’t do what we can. We cannot save or sanctify ourselves; God will not give us good habits or character. We have to develop habits and character on our own, working out the salvation God has worked in.

“Add” suggests we have to get into a habit. Habits are difficult to establish. To take the initiative is to make a beginning, to instruct yourself in the way you have to go. Beware of asking for directions when you know the way perfectly well. Take the initiative; stop hesitating; be decisive. Whenever God speaks, act in faith immediately on what he says, and never go back on your decisions. If you hesitate when God tells you to do something, you endanger your position in grace. Will yourself to take the first step—I will write that letter; I will pay that debt—then burn your bridges behind you. Make it impossible to go back.

We can only take initiative where we are, not where we aren’t. We have to get into the habit of seeking the mind of God about anything and everything. If when a crisis comes, we instinctively turn to him, we will know the habit has been formed.

Scripture Thought for the Day

Add to your faith goodness. — 2 Peter 1:5

  • Nancy Crandall: Nancy of Stoneham passed away unexpectedly at her home on Sunday, April 21, 2024. She was 80 years of age. She was also a dear friend to many that lived here in the Dayton, Ohio area including Larry & Shirley. She had a passion for the end-time message and sharing it with others.
  • Suzanne: Thank you for sending the Ezekiel books!
  • We have several prisoners in Oregon that write to us for each book once they read the one we have already sent them. It all started with one prisoner who knew about Larry’s teaching that had a burden to share with other prisoners. We have been able to provide them with books, booklets and some beautiful large print Bible so they can study as much as they want.

Prayer Requests

  • Prisoners: Please pray for all the prisoners we are in contact with. Pray that they will trust the Lord completely and allow Him to transform their hearts.
