Leave Room For God

Reading from "My Utmost For His Highest" this morning...

"...give God "elbow room." We plan and figure and predict that this or that will happen, but we forget to make room for God to come in as He chooses...Do not look for God to come in a praticular way, but do look for Him...
Keep your life so constantly in touch with God that His surprising power can break through at any point. Live in a constant state of expectancy, and leave room for God to come in as He decides."

  2. Very, very true. It's crazy how hard we struggle to do it our own way when His way is so much easier!

  3. WOW! I had to read it twice, but it made me feel settled. I guess I do go around trying to put things the way I want them, and then wonder where He is. Thank you for this posting. :)
