Doesn't it always seem like we're continually waiting on God for something ..we have prayed and prayed some more and it seems we're just endlessly waiting for God to move...
But I feel God saying that many times, He is having to wait on us!
He is having to be patient with us ... Often times He's having to remove something from us, shape us, bend us, move us, prepare us and change us to be able... well able ...to handle our purpose in Him...
To whom much is given much is expected ...
It's a give-and-take ...
He is waiting for our obedience.... Our complete reliance.. Our determined trust..
God is standing there with open arms ready to unleash the blessings of His brilliant favor to us, ready to open the doors of opportunity ,but ...we are too fleshly and we get caught up in the things of this world.. the aimless sidetracks, and the snare of the enemies detours.. We bind the very hands of God through our sheer disobedience...
We think we have to do everything on our own .. We become self appointed "know-it-alls"
We get so busy running around the mountain again and again and jumping over the same old hurdles ...
We are afraid to fail and afraid to succeed at the same time... So we do nothing.. We get so busy being busy
So, there begins the vicious cycle and the very definition of One more trip around the mountain...
We lose our trust, we lose our patience and we fail to surrender our circumstances to God
Friends I ask you to search your heart and ask God to reveal where it is that you need to start being obedient what things do you need to lay down on His alter? What do you need to fully surrender to the Lord?
We need to surrender daily ..we need to constantly be in complete submission to the will of God for our lives..
Move, step out in faith! Be boldly determined! Do it afraid...give it to God.. Wave the white flag and surrender to Him!
Do not make God wait on you one more second..!
He is so determined to bless you!
No more trips around the mountain ..don't let it take 40 years for you to get to the promised land ...don't take an 11 day trip and turn it into your lifetime ...
Obey now and enter the land God has promised to give you ... Enter now!
Deuteronomy 4:1 “And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the rules that I am teaching you, and do them, that you may live, and go in and take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you.
Galatians 5:13-14 For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
