1 Samuel 23-24, Psalms 104:19-35, Romans 8:12-39
What God said to me – I love you enough that I will do or allow whatever it takes to conform you to My image and bring you to the place I want you to be. Once you understand that the things you are experiencing are for a purpose, I can truly begin to work in your life because you begin to cooperate with Me as you submit to My hand. I’m not saying it will be easy because true change – surrendering yourself to My will- is rarely easy. But as you learn to say “not my will, but Yours be done” it will be easier because you will experience My peace and presence as you turn to Me in trust. David could have taken matters into his own hands and killed Saul when he was presented with the opportunity and ended his years of running and hiding but he understood I had a plan I was carrying out for his good and My glory so he refused to take a shortcut even when he knew it might bring him relief. He trusted My plan. Do you?
