You have heard, “Where there is a will...there’s a way...”
Been there done that.
“So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart,
To walk in their own counsels.”
Psalm 81:12
My strong, often self-centered will...can make my own way. Yes. Been there done that. And...I don’t want to ever walk that path again. These words that cheer our human determination and strength...can be the heart of so much wreckage and ruin, when what we are pursuing so ardently isn’t His best. Truly. So...
If you are pressing the Lord for something that just has to go the way you want it...how you want it...and when you want it (whatever it is), try reading the remainder of Psalm 81. There you will find amazing promises...defeat of the enemy...joy...satisfaction...His finest...for you...
When...you surrender your stubborn will...for His.
