It takes a lot to break some people of their pride. We are certain we know what is best. In our relationship with God, we do all of the talking. We are so busy serving that we have no time to ensure we are doing the right things. But God has a way of getting our attention!
God will humble us if He needs to. He will slow us down until we are finally prepared to listen to what He has to say. He will allow us to come to the end of ourselves until we acknowledge our need for His intervention. For some, this will only require a still, small, voice. For others, it will entail a blinding light and a voice emanating from heaven. But God will do what is necessary.
When God gets your attention, it is not so you can suggest what you might be best suited to do for Him. It is not so He can explain Himself to you or to seek your counsel. God will initiate a conversation with you where you can ask that all-important question: “Lord, what do you want me to do?”
