Real faith is not just receiving from God the things you want. Real faith is accepting from God the things He gives.
Adrian Rogers
Do we have this kind of faith?
We should.
How do you get this kind of faith you ask?
Ronda and I received it when we had to surrender our will to God's, with a sick little boy in the hospital with a brain tumor and we could do nothing about the situation.But we knew God could, and He did. We had to surrender to God and say he is your Hands, like we are ,we trust you Lord.. We surrendered and God has never and will never let us out of His Hands. That was 14 years ago. And we still go where He leads us
What about you will it take a life and death situation for you or will you humbly submit today?
Solomon said this
My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you. Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord , and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.
Proverbs 3:1-10 ESV
Are you following God's lead today down the path He has chosen, or are you trying to lead God down your path?
