His Life Cannot Fail
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” GALATIANS 2:20
The Law of Gravity brings objects to the ground. It does not matter to Gravity how large or small the object is. It works the same with acorns as it does with airplanes.
Likewise, I know today that it does not matter if I am called upon to wash dishes, mow the lawn, write an article, preach a message, cast out a demon, love my neighbor, forgive my enemy, or lay down my life. It makes no difference to the "Life."
It is not I, but Christ, Who does these things. The principle is the same, and the Life cannot fail. If I give up my life, if I give up my self-effort, then He begins to do what I cannot do.
This IS Christianity.

**whose**
Who, Shall I say,
is Calling.
is power.
Interesting analogy to gravity, whose call matches the inertia of what is called so that, at least in a vacuum free of other interference, the resulting acceleration is the same.
If it’s the Lord, He will furnish the resource to match the call. If the call is to great mercy, He will furnish great mercy. If the call is to gospel revival, He will furnish a reviving gospel. If the call is to glorify His name, he will furnish the glory.
Thank you.
