My Utmost for His Highest
I resonate with this. "Tarry"... Wait. I don't like waiting. But the disciples are told to wait.
Oswald writes "Our waiting is not dependent on the providence of God, but on our own spiritual fitness."
I don't like reading that but I accept it as true. There is work God is doing in me right now that He feels is necessary.
"The attitude of receiving and welcoming the Holy Spirit into our lives is to be the continual attitude of a believer. When we receive the Holy Spirit, we receive reviving life from our ascended Lord."
Had a friend in England who I remember for saying that if someone asks if you are filled with the Spirit, the correct answer is "If you have to ask, I must not be".
Remember the illustration: What does a glove do when it is not filled with the hand? Nothing. But when the hand fills the glove, the glove's actions are identical to the hand's intent and action.
Let me be a filled glove today.
