I have probably already shared that I am a might stubborn. Some call me hardheaded, others stubborn, my pastor calls me steadfast, which I prefer. I am one that will stand my ground without begging or backing down. I am not saying that to boast. I am saying that to say that maybe I shouldn't always be so rigid.
There are absolutely times that we should stand our ground no matter what. There are things that we need to settle, things of the LORD, and decide that we will not compromise or back down when it comes to defending and protecting those things. However, there are other things that just aren't worth the fight.
What I am trying to get at is, I wonder how much I have missed, how much I have refused to see because of my stubbornness. I wonder if there have been things that I should have done, paths that I should have taken, people I would have met if only I would have eased up in my resiliency and listened.
Today's word comes from Psalm 25:9, NIV, which reads, "He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way."
GOD is going to show us what He wants us to do. He is going to lead us to where He wants us to be. He is going to take us to where we need to go. But, He will not force His will upon us; we must humble ourselves before Him and allow Him to lead.
So many times we confuse humbleness with weakness, which is not the case. Being humble before GOD just means that we know He is GOD and that He has everything under control. I really need to work on loosening up and allowing GOD to direct me and guide me and teach me. Let's loosen up and allow GOD to use us.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
