That
irrepressible “you” in a life…how seemingly dastard is he/she. Oh, my.
It isn’t he/she as much as I.
Michael
gives us a good look at how God is at work in us, even when “you” show up.
DAY 135
Having an Explosion
He must increase, but I must decrease. --John 3:30
How does
one take the smallest particle and make it smaller? By exploding it! The
nucleus of the atom is a very small thing, and yet it can be made smaller
through an explosion. There
is a lesson here for all that would decrease that God might increase. The smallest bit of self-life will
be made smaller only after God magnifies it through an explosion. “Oh, I
was doing so well loving God and walking in holiness, and then you entered the room. I can walk
perfectly well with Jesus until you
enter the room. I do not really have any problems, and walking in the Spirit is
natural, until you enter the room.” Though we do not like being
confronted with it, whenever a you in
our life enters the room, our self-life explodes! We did not think that we had a
self-life that ugly until it was inescapably revealed to us. We need not be discouraged or avoid
the person or the situation, when we can see God and have a move in Him.
He is only exploding
self so that it might decrease in us. We can simply acknowledge to Him the flesh when we grasp
our weak inability to love. We decrease that He might increase.

How many give thought that God is moving in us when our self-life
explodes? Well, Michael says two things
are important:
The smallest bit
of self-life will be made smaller only after God magnifies it through an
explosion.
We need not be
discouraged or avoid the person or the situation, when we can see God and have
a move in Him.
There it is…”see God and have a move in Him.” God is the One who can reclaim that ground we
have given the enemy. God is the One who
can heal the past. How amazing is it
that we have no difficulty trusting God to “forgive our sin, and take us to
Heaven when we leave this world”…but we don’t trust Him to do something with
our flesh?
Getting past the past…what a wonderful victory for those who decrease
and Christ increases in life today.
