Victoriously Persistant River

"A river reaches places where its source never knows."
After a few weeks of questioning, wondering, arguing and doubting, this phrase of Oswald Chambers put everything into perspective. In John 7:38, "He who believes in Me...out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." I have no control of the outflow of the "river" in my life. God is in control of that and I need to accept that I may never see how great or small the outcome of the outflow is.

"A river is victoriously persistent, overcoming all barriers."
Everything was moving along at a good pace. Until certain obstacles began to pop up, like rocks in a river that barely touch the surface, but can do enough damage to and appear to immobilize. But the river doesn't become immobilized. It finds a path around the obstacle. "The obstacle will be a matter of total indifference to the river that will flow steadily through you if you will simply remember to stay focused on the Source."

No matter the obstacle, stay focused on Christ who is the director of each vein of the river in your life.
