The season is upon us where we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Not only do I remember the day that my Savior was born, but I am also reminded of what my relationship with Him stands for. I was reading a passage from My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers today. There was something that stood out for me in his words. It said
Waiting for God is incarnate unbelief, it means that I have no faith in Him; I wait for Him to do something in me that I may trust in that. God will not do it, because that is not the basis of the God-and-man relationship. Man has to go out of himself in his covenant with God as God goes out of Himself in His covenant with man.
