Deuteronomy 31:6 (NKJV) 6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.
When God works to correct something in us, we should know it’s going to happen in the way He sees is best, provided we are willing to surrender.
He will even help us in doing what He is asking us to do, but only if we melt at His feet and say, “yes, Lord.”
You see, there is always going to be human-intellect-part of us that wants to know what He will do, how it’s going to affect us, and whether we will be able to do it or not.
Just the other morning, I woke up and was going to run down and use the community pool in our neighborhood. But on this particular day I felt that I needed, instead, to get into my room that I call my “Prayer Chambers”.
When I knelt to pray, I had no idea that God was going to be so specific this day. He started right off the bat and began touching my heart in a strong and powerful way.
I cried, cried, and cried so more.
The thing about God is that He never stops us from sobbing.
He won’t call us a crybaby, tell us we are weak, or that we can’t do what He is requiring of us.
No. Because, if we love and obey Him, all things work out; even the things we have no idea how to do.
Romans 8:28 (NKJV) 28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
You see, when we say we love God more than anything else, it may be tested at times when He asks us to let go of those things He tells us to let go of.
And for me that day I had to let go of something very deeply rooted in me. Something I never thought He would ask of me. I will admit that I don’t know if I will pass this test. But I’m willing to try.
When God touches us and tells us what is best at this time in our lives, we must listen, follow His lead and give Him a fully surrendered heart.
He has already gone ahead of us to work out the details. We just have to let go of whatever He is asking us to let go of.
And He will take care of the rest.
Amen.
