If you are not doing the task that is closest to you now, which God has engineered into your life, when a crisis comes, instead of being fit for battle, you will be revealed as being unfit.
Crises always reveal a person's true character. It is not the crisis that builds something within us--it simply reveals what we are already made of.
A private relationship of worshiping God is the greatest essential element of spiritual fitness.
The time will come when everything will be out in the open, and you will find yourself to be of no value there if you have not been worshipping in everyday occasions in your own home.
It is in the unseen life, which only God saw, that you have become fit. When the strain of the crises comes, you can be relied upon by God.
O. Chambers
What is the task closest to me right now, that God has engineered into my life?
Am I doing it with zeal, holiness, and reckless abandon-love?
What does my private relationship of worshiping God look like?
Am I worshipping in everyday occasions?
Do I treat fostering my relationship with God as the 'greatest essential element'?
I know I can fully rely upon Him.
But can I be relied upon by God?
"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting...
It has been found difficult
and left untried."
GK Chesterton
