Carrying on from yesterday’s post, I read Romans 4 this morning, and verse 16 really stood out for me

This is why the fulfillment of God’s promise depends entirely on trusting God and his way, and then simply embracing him and what he does. God’s promise arrives as pure gift. That’s the only way everyone can be sure to get in on it, those who keep the religious traditions and those who have never heard of them. For Abraham is father of us all. He is not our racial father—that’s reading the story backward. He is our faith father.

Last night at home cell, we discussed Isaiah 40:31 and what it means to wait on the Lord. For me, it means to trust that God will provide what He promised, but we need to let ourselves go, and really simply trust Him to provide in His time.

We, as humans, tend to want to speed things along by trying to put certain things in place for God to make it easier for Him to fulfil His promise, but once again I see that as being arrogant towards God. God really doesn’t need our help in doing anything, as He is the creator of all, but He wants to use us.

We need to get to a point where we can hear His voice, and then we can really live within His will by listening to His guidance, and not try to guide Him to where you want to be.
