When God's will and my will disconnect
All of us would like to have things go our way: a good job, great health, and obedient children— basically, to have things run according to our plans. But what happens when things don’t go our way? Well, normally, we complain—and sometimes direct our anger toward God. Even mature Christians are guilty of this. We can talk, teach and even preach about the sovereignty of God. But when trouble comes knocking, our faith may become shaky—and we end up blaming the One who has our best interests at heart. Author Terry Burlingame insists that the cure for this spiritual disease is to make conscious spiritual decisions to obey God’s will rather than our own.
-We must decide to accept that we are not in control.
-We must decide to confess our sins.
-We must choose to accept God’s timeframe.
Only when we do these things will the disconnect between our will and God’s will be reconciled, and we will have fully surrendered to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and His perfect will for our lives! This book will be an invaluable resource for your Christian walk, both in your personal and group Bible study.
