When I Move Out of the Way, God Moves In

If I think I know everything, I won’t give the Lord the space to work in my life. The more I learn, the more I realize I need to know. Therefore, I need continual guidance from my Lord. 

This morning, I thought about how much bad advice I have given to myself and others. We usually respond by how we feel and what we want the outcome to be. But what we want is not always the best. 

My flesh wants the easier path. I like to make comfortable decisions and take easy actions. So often, I pray for one thing and then do the opposite. I pray for strength and then stop the minute something gets hard. I pray for guidance and then make my own decisions. I put my troubles at Jesus’ feet and then pick them back up. 

Lately, I have been observing myself and my self-sabotaging behavior. When I recognize my problems, I can ask the Lord to help me overcome them. So often, I look outside of myself for the solutions or to cast blame, but when I’m honest, I know it’s me. I am the problem and my worst enemy.

Every day, I want to seek my Lord and say, “Not my will, Lord, but yours.” Therefore, I want to surrender it all to Jesus. I want to place my heartaches, troubles, weaknesses, sins, and uncertainties at His feet because I know that His will is the best outcome.
