Man's Adversity Is God's Opportunity

How many times in our lives have we resisted the Lord's guidance. We tend to rely more on our Global Positioning System (GPS) rather than our Heavenly GPS, don't we? But I have found when I remember to tune into the Lord and set my life on His cruise control, everything falls perfectly into place - for God's pace is steady and His road is straight.  

Only when we are totally dependent on our Redeemer are we truly free!

Going throughout the motions of religion won't ever satisfy. It's only when we bend down low, open our heart in complete surrender, and say "Jesus, it's You. Only You. There is no other possession or person or position that can ever fill the deep soul place shaped only for You."  

As He calls us on a path to bare ourselves and share the truth of life, we must remember that "we have nothing to prove or protect." We can admit we are "weak and needy and restless". Man's adversity is God's opportunity. God delights in using His people - right in the middle of all that appears crazy and wrong and hopeless. But He won't give you the genuine until you surrender the imitations.

God has changed my perspective on my life....It's not my life, it's His. When we let Him in, He'll change our lives forever. 

Our time in the desert is both necessary and ordained by God for it prepares us for His vision. The process is so painful, but the result is pure gold. The testing of our faith transforms us into a servant worthy of big dreams with bold outcomes.

Let's take some leaps of faith and trust that God will provide the correct outcome and live our lives without fear. 

If we define success as seeking God first, we will never be failures.
