Oh, in myself I see the trials and tribulations of the world. I want to head into them with the word of God. And yet His anointing is my bread and drink. I have no life or call outside of Him. His anointing is so precious to me. I am not the world's water girl. I am His daughter. I am under His authority and my water is precious. I want to water everyone I see and yet my water is not my own. I borrow it from Jesus and I dish it out only as I gaze heavenward.
Can He trust me with this water? Can He trust us wives and mothers with the burdens He has given us. What will we do when we go through what P wrote about this morning? Will we not give up? Will we stand for Jesus? He wants to know. And when He sees that He can trust us, then we share some of His glory. He takes us to His palace and shows us some of His jewels and power. Ain't no power on the earth like His power. Once He touches you with His anointing, then you chase that anointing for the rest of your life. You will do anything to be in His presence again and again. As you drink of His water of life, it satisfies your soul.
It's not all about our families. It is all about Him. As we put Him first, we fall into His order for the family. The preachers double talk and say, "Put Jesus first," meaning forget the family. No -- a million times no -- we as wives must be brought up in Christ in the home first. We learn to know Jesus as we learn our Bible roles as wife and mother. We refuse to go to the world.
As obedient horses, we come to the cart as we learn how to willingly stand still and let Him strap us to a burden. And we walk one foot in front of the other with blinders on our eyes. As the Master pulls us to the left, we go willingly and then the the right, we go willingly. And some day the Lord says about us, "I trust her. I can just let her go and she will take this cart on home. She isn't skittish. She isn't fearful. I can fall asleep in the cart and she would walk obediently back home."
Then one day the Lord begins to show you His glory and He tells you to run like the wind and forget the halter, the straps that bind you. And He lets you run on your own. And now that you are on your own, what will you do? The Lord Jesus watches you with a Father's heart, hoping so much that you will come back HOME just because you love Him. Not because you are on a leash. And not because you Have to come back to His guiding hand. But just because you long for His anointing and the taste of the water that quenches your thirst as none other can. He watches you and His heart swells with Love as He sees His chosen daughter return to Him and again forsaking the world.
You love Him. He is your God. You long for Him as He is your true husband. You become His wife, His chosen one. He calls you to come out from among them and to be separated unto Him. Mete for the Master's use.
