A few weeks ago, our dear sister Eunika was called away from Sheppard leaving the Breaking Free class without a leader. As I prayed about finding a teacher for this study, I smirked and said, "Lord, I really don't NEED this study, but I'll lead it if that's what You want me to do."
How foolish I was. Honestly, God knows what we need more than we do ourselves. He is compassionately opening my heart and showing my need to be "break free" from some of my own issues. I may not have deep emotional wounds or traumatic life experiences, but my heart is still captive to things like pride and insecurity. God knew.
How often do we tell God we don't want to do something because we think WE know best? I am grateful that He carefully nudges us toward His will. I pray that as you seek Him this week, that you will be open to His call.
I smirked at God. What will you do?
