How much time do we waste by insisting on our own ways instead of God’s ways? He tells us over and over again that he is with us. In fact the name ‘Immanuel’ means ‘God with us’. Matthew 28:20 says, “I am with you always.” Then what is the problem – our stubbornness, our wills.
There is a difference between knowing the truth, talking about the truth, studying the truth, and letting the truth touch your life in such a way that you surrender your life to the truth. If he is already with us all the time, then we just need to let go of our defenses and submit to His will.
God is infinitely kind but He is still God and he demands that we come to Him on his terms. We have to humble ourselves and accept His way of living. We have to repent of our sin and change our behavior.
Understand who it is you are dealing with. This is the God of the universe. He wants us to come to Him humbled, grateful and obedient. When we do, we will know that “at his right hand there are pleasures forevermore.” (Psalm 16:11)
So no more wasting time. Surrender and get on with enjoying his pleasures.
