well it's been a while...
so... i've haven't exactly been a faithful blogger. but i've been reading these "daily meditations" by watchman nee, and this one was so exciting for where i am, i just had to post it. and i'm going to try to do better in the future, starting with this. really.
We are always in danger of setting a limit to what God can do. Today God wants us to prepare for a new release in the work of the gospel, but we set him a target beyond which our faith is not prepared to go. We have not understood the flight of the Lord's "arrow of victory." Our gratification over the hundred souls that have come to Him may be the thing that hinders them coming in their thousands. Is it not possible that the large hall we have built for the proclamation of the gospel may impose a limit on future growth? There is always a grave danger of circumscribing God's grace. The blessing He gives is intended to pave the way for greater blessing, never to become a barrier to it. By all means let us work to a plan, but let us shake ourselves from all trammels of the past and live in a state of constant expectancy. Right ahead of us lies a work immensely greater than that which lies behind. God plans for us unprecedented blessings.
