My Utmost for His Highest

Will You Go Out Without Knowing?

Have you ever "gone out" in this way? If so, there is no logical answer possible when anyone asks you what you are doing. On of the most difficult question to answer in Christian work is "What do you expect to do?" You don't know what you are going to do. The only thing you know is that God knows what He is doing. Continually examine you attitude toward God to see if you are willing to "go out" in every area of you life, trusting in God entirely. It is this attitude that keeps you in constant wonder, because you don't know what God is going to do next. Each morning as you wake, there is a new opportunity to "go out," building you confidence in God. ". . . do no worry about your life . . . nor about the body . . ." (Luke 12:22). In other words, don't worry about the thing that concerned you before you did "go out."
Have you been asking God what he is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He is going to do--He reveals to you who He is. Do you believe in a miracle-working God, and will you "go out" in complete surrender to Him until you are not surprised on iota by anything He does?
Believe God is always the God you know Him to be when you are nearest to Him. Then think how unnecessary and disrespectful worry is! Le the attitude of you life be a continual willingness to "go out" in dependence upon God, and your life will have a sacred and inexpressible charm about it that is very satisfying to Jesus. you must learn to "go out" through your convictions, creeds, or experiences until you come to the point in you faith where there is nothing between yourself and God.
