Not my will but Yours
Biblical Passages to Read:
Ezekiel 47 & Luke 22: 42
As we seek to go deeper with God, that means we will be going to places where we have never been before, and even places we may not want to go. Submission is what Jesus teaches us so powerfully through the passage from Luke’s Gospel. This was not what He wanted, and yet through submitting to Gods will and purpose, it brought transformation for all mankind.
Submitting to God is reflected in Ezekiel so powerfully as well – its being willing to go beyond the comfort zone, all we have ever known, but recognising that we need to go at God’s pace. Its not a bad thing to be ankle deep, but it is if there is where we are always staying and being. Sometimes in the new experiences and places God takes us we will find ourselves ankle deep in water, but it should never be the place where we stay forever.
Submission is about giving in – letting God do just what it is He believes in us. He has created us and individually has an amazing plan and purpose for our lives. So, to go deeper, we have to allow Him to clean us up, and then allow Him to bring us to those places, to trust our Leader and to follow. The prophet was led by God, as we read in the very first place, it was not a sending.
Spend some time where you are with God, and how open and willing you are to do His will? God wants to take you to a place you have not been before, and that can be testing us as well. We need to be in the right place for and for Him.
