Taking the Initiative Against Daydreaming
By Oswald Chambers
Arise, let us go from here. —John 14:31
Observation:”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!” Excerpt from My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers
Revelation and Prayer: “Obey what He has said.” May it always be so with us, Lord. We never want to be caught flat, footed, talking about a vision when we should be walking in that vision. Help us, Lord, not to be afraid, to step out when we need to step out. Thank you for Your strength to accomplish all that You have set before us. We love You Lord we praise You we desire to be all we can for You. Amen.
