MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️:

“Do nothing apart from my leading.”

I opened up my devotional this morning and this was today’s point.

NOTHING: no thing; not a trace, part, or share.

Stay still. Listen for My voice. Do NOTHING apart from My leading.

Well. Those are three points MOST find difficult to do:

  1. Be still.

  2. Listen

  3. Do nothing…until.

Notice that all three of these suggest the removal of our self and our strength. They put us in the passenger seat, not the driver’s seat. They have us as actors in the play, NOT the producer.

Oh, but…PRODUCE, PRODUCE, PRODUCE. Do what YOU want! Make a move and figure it out later!

Wrong. Well, not wrong if we want to operate by the world’s rules. But by God’s, the opposite is always true.

Be still. Listen for my voice. Wait on me.

Have I been talking about this enough lately?!? 😂😂 I’m in a be still + wait mode I suspect like many of you.

It’s all good y’all. Spring is coming.

Super hard. I catch myself thinking, “I think I’ll do (whatever it is)”. Then I think, “Nope, the Lord didn’t tell me to do that yet.” 🥴. He’s speaking, though. There are just some “cracks” that need to be filled and a few “foundation” issues that need to be addressed. I know I’m not ready, but dang is it difficult to wait!

Same girl, same. You’d think it would be “easy”. Nope. So hard.
