Spiritual Strength For Each Day
“And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee” (1 Kings 19:7).
Where does the Lord’s way lead? I can tell all of you who are reading this now with great certainty: you have a great journey ahead of you. Come and go His way. Where to? Revelation 14:4 tells us this, “These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.” I can also tell you with great certainty where this way does not lead: where the flesh wants to go. I ask you now to examine the measure of your willingness. Are you willing to follow the Lamb wherever He goes? This way means the surrender of your own will. The only right way for you is the way in which the Lord has wanted to lead you for a long while, but you did not want to follow. The starting point of your way up till now has always been in your own self. The starting point of the Lord’s way, however, is Calvary. There He is waiting for you. You must return to where the crucified Lamb of God is waiting for you. Only from Calvary can you follow the Lord’s way.
