GENTLE OR POWERFUL?

GentlePowerfulGod’s dealings with us can be gentle or powerful. God spoke to Isaiah and said: “My care for the people of Judah is like the gently flowing waters of Shiloah” (Isaiah 8:6). What a beautiful description of God’s care and watchfulness over our lives. He loves to be gentle with us as He convicts us of things in our lives that grieve Him and as He woos us on to be conformed into the image of His Son. Do we respond to His gentle proddings?

Or do we resist? When we resist, God needs to use stronger methods. The Bible says that that the people of Judah rejected God’s gently flowing waters. They wanted their own way. Instead, He had to bring a flood upon them, a flood that reached up to their chins! It was literally the King of Assyria wanting to take them captive.

We either experience the dealings of God one way or the other. We can live in the “gentle flowing stream” anointing as we respond to God speaking to our hearts. But if we let our hearts become cold and resistance to His voice, He may have to send a “raging river” upon us to get our attention.

Which would you prefer?

Let’s keep soft and tender hearts towards the Lord.
