Give Elbow Room

“But when it pleased God …” (Galatians 1:15, NKJV)
“But when the fullness of the time had come …” (Galatians 4:4, NKJV)

 

“As servants of God, we must learn to make room for Him – to 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 particular way, but do look for Him.

No matter how well we may know God, the great lesson to learn is that He may break in at any minute.”

(from My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers)

 

Today I am joining … Give Me Grace and Spiritual Sundays and Word of God Speak and Scripture & a Snapshot .


In My Thoughts,
Joanne

    This is such a powerful thought.
    It reminds me of God’s words to the people of Israel: He would fight for them. They need only be still!

      So very true, Michele. We truly do not need to take it all on ourselves.
