Spirit-Led Sunday: Wisdom & His Will
Lord, give me the wisdom to separate my feelings from the truth…
and to recognize my will from Yours.
As a child, I learned wisdom early, through dysfunction, through trauma, and through a mother who had one of the strongest spiritual eyes I’ve ever known. When I say she could see… she could see.
I remember being in my knucklehead stage, ready to go toe-to-toe. Instead of arguing with me, she simply asked,
“Why do you get super angry when I tell you something?”
That question stopped me in my tracks.
You see, most people can’t handle correction. But wisdom is knowing who you’re dealing with and understanding their reaction. And sometimes… that person is us.
We say we know God so well. Meanwhile, He’s probably looking at us like chuckling saying, “If you only knew.”
So how do we separate feelings from truth?
How do we know if it’s God’s will or just our own?
Here’s what I’ve learned:
When we’re in our own will, we become impatient, anxious, irritated, irrational. We rush. We plan quickly without guidance. We try to microwave what God is slow-cooking.
God’s will? It’s the slow cooker.
Every now and then, He gives instant favor.
But most of the time, His will works on our character first, who we are when no one sees, and who we pretend to be when they do.
Some things we call “God’s will”… but they’re really just our desire with a spiritual label on it.
And sometimes God lets us do our own thing, but that doesn’t mean it was His preferred will.
So today, ask yourself:
Are you in His preferred will?
And if not, are you willing to wait?
I’ll say it like this, had I gotten out of my own way sooner, I might have been further along. But every time I quiet myself and listen, I hear:
“You are right where you need to be.”
Building character.
Building stability.
Building authenticity.
Building patience.
Even when anxiety creeps in, there’s still peace underneath it.
And that anxious feeling reminds me, I don’t control any of this anyway.
So remember to,
Trust God.
Trust His timing.
And know, He GOT us.
