Too sweet

Thu, 13 Dec 2012 01:40:02 -0800

I am overwhelmed by the stress of finals week. I know that I did not study enough when I had time, so now I am suffering the consequence of late night working.

Despite all of this, God has been comforting me with so many various blessings this week… His sweetness overpowers this bitterness.

Everything I am is for Your Glory

Enough

He is enough. God is Enough. You are Enough. Everything I need, and more.

Please show me something about You that I never knew. Attract me with Your majesty. Stop this wandering heart and these wandering thoughts. Take my breath away. Knock me off my feet. Capture my heart. Overwhelm me. Lead me to You. Show me Your heart. You are Everything.

“God’s Purpose in the Ups and Downs of Our Spiritual Life”

THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS by C. S. LEWIS
-the correspondance of the wordly-wise old devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man

Excerpt from Letter # 8

“To decide what the best use of it is, you must ask what use the Enemy wants to make of it, and then do the opposite. Now it may surprise you to learn that in His efforts to get permanent possession of a soul, He relies on the troughs even more than on the peaks; some of His special favorites have gone through longer and deeper troughs than anyone else. The reason is this. To us a human is primarily food; our aim is the absorption of its will into ours, the increase of our own area of selfhood at its expense. But the obedience which the Enemy demands of men is quite a different thing. One must face the fact that all the talk about His love for men, and His service being perfect freedom, is not (as one would gladly believe) mere propaganda, but an appalling truth. He really does want to fill the universe with a lot of loathsome little replicas of Himself—creatures, whose life, on its miniature scale, will be qualitatively like His own, not because He has absorbed them but because their wills freely conform to His. We want cattle who can finally become food; He wants servants who can finally become sons. We want to suck in, He wants to give out. We are empty and would be filled; He is full and flows over. Our war aim is a world in which Our Father Below has drawn all other beings into himself: the Enemy wants a world full of beings united to Him but still distinct.

And that is where the troughs come in. You must have often wondered why the Enemy does not make more use of His power to be sensibly present to human souls in any degree He chooses and at any moment. But you now see that the Irresistible and the Indisputable are the two weapons which the very nature of His scheme forbids Him to use. Merely to over-ride a human will (as His felt presence in any but the faintest and most mitigated degree would certainly do) would be for Him useless. He cannot ravish. He can only woo. For His ignoble idea is to eat the cake and have it; the creatures are to be one with Him, but yet themselves; merely to cancel them, or assimilate them, will not serve. He is prepared to do a little overriding at the beginning. He will set them off with communications of His presence which, though faint, seem great to them, with emotional sweetness, and easy conquest over temptation. But He never allows this state of affairs to last long. Sooner or later He withdraws, if not in fact, at least from their conscious experience, all those supports and incentives. He leaves the creature to stand up on its own legs—to carry out from the will alone duties which have lost all relish. It is during such trough periods, much more than during the peak periods, that it is growing into the sort of creature He wants it to be. Hence the prayers offered in the state of dryness are those which please Him best. We can drag our patients along by continual tempting, because we design them only for the table, and the more their will is interfered with the better. He cannot “tempt” to virtue as we do to vice. He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand; and if only the will to walk is really there He is pleased even with their stumbles. Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger, than when a human, no longer desiring, but intending, to do our Enemy’s will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.”

The Woman Who Fears the LORD

Fri, 04 May 2012 11:23:07 -0700

   An excellent wife who can find?
       She is far more precious than jewels.
   The heart of her husband trusts in her,
       and he will have no lack of gain.
   She does him good, and not harm,
       all the days of her life.
   She seeks wool and flax,
       and works with willing hands.
   She is like the ships of the merchant;
       she brings her food from afar.
   She rises while it is yet night
       and provides food for her household
       and portions for her maidens.
   She considers a field and buys it;
       with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
   She dresses herself with strength
       and makes her arms strong.
   She perceives that her merchandise is profitable.
       Her lamp does not go out at night.
   She puts her hands to the distaff,
       and her hands hold the spindle.
   She opens her hand to the poor
       and reaches out her hands to the needy.
   She is not afraid of snow for her household,
       for all her household are clothed in scarlet.
   She makes bed coverings for herself;
       her clothing is fine linen and purple.
   Her husband is known in the gates
       when he sits among the elders of the land.
   She makes linen garments and sells them;
       she delivers sashes to the merchant.
   Strength and dignity are her clothing,
       and she laughs at the time to come.
   She opens her mouth with wisdom,
       and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
   She looks well to the ways of her household
       and does not eat the bread of idleness.
   Her children rise up and call her blessed;
       her husband also, and he praises her:
   “Many women have done excellently,
       but you surpass them all.”
   Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
       but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
   Give her of the fruit of her hands,
       and let her works praise her in the gates.
(Proverbs 31:10-31 ESV)
