Snippets That Inspire discussion

A few highlights from a book called "Sit, Walk, Stand" by Watchman Nee:

[We are like] a cripple in a power-driven invalid carriage. What does he do? He goes—but he also sits. And he keeps going because he remains sitting. He has first learned to sit. He has come to a place of rest in God. As a result, his walking is not based on his efforts but on God’s mighty inward working.

God means something similar in what it means to “stand.” We do not try to gain ground; we merely stand on the ground which the Lord Jesus has gained for us, and resolutely refuse to be moved from it.

Are we in such a union with the Lord that He will thus commit Himself to what we are doing? It is a question of the identification of my purpose with the eternal purpose of God.
