Do we love Him enough to deny self? "There is a war within, said the old Indian. "There is a black dog and a white dog inside me fighting." When asked, " Which one wins?" The old Indian said, "The one that I feed the most." Are we willing to deny self and allow Him to live as King in our hearts? It is not a matter of me, but of Him. It is not by will power, but by faith, that He lives in me while I was crucified with Him. I now present my body a living sacrifice to Him to do with what ever pleases Him. Jesus offered Himself, and was obedient even to the Cross. We might ask ourselves in the middle of a trial, "What good can this do?" How many wondered what good the Cross did to Jesus in the prime of His life and ministry. You see, only the Father sees the whole picture. Do we love Him enough to offer ourselves to Him? Here I am Lord, live and rule and reign in me. Your will be done in me as it is in Heaven. I trust your way to be the best way. It is hard to see the victory in the middle of the fiery trial, but faith sees it. Faith is trusting Him even when it seems defeat is evident!
Remember Israel at the Red Sea. Defeat was eminent and yet they still won. Incredible!
