A disciple is like his Lord.

From Oswald Chambers today:

"It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his Lord." Matthew 10:25

"In the East the women sing as they grind the corn between the millstones: and the 'the sound of the millstones' is music in the ears of God. The worlding does not think it music, but the saint who is being made into bread knows that his Father knows best, and that He would never allow the suffering if He had not some purpose. Ill-tempered people, hard circumstances, poverty, wilful misunderstands and estrangements, are all millstones. Had Jesus any of these things in His own life? He had a devil in His company for three years; He lived at home with brothers and sisters who did not believe in Him; He was continually thwarted and misunderstood by the Pharisee, and He says, 'the disciple is not above his mater'. If we have the tiniest element of self-pity in us God dare not put us anywhere near the millstones. When these experiences come, remember God has His eye on every detail. "

I'm afraid that I might be one of those ill-tempered people that cause the other saints offense. This is my own millstone. Please Lord, please, grind out of me the old man.

Lovingly....for you Lord,
Lily
