I wonder what God thinks of my planning skills. Does He view them as haughty and audacious? Does He think my goals have been set too low? We do our best with what we know at the time of our decisions, but I often question whether I have spent enough time praying, reflecting, weighing the consequences of options. I also wonder whether my analyzing is a fear and I don’t take enough risks. I can he on and on but the main take away for me is to trust Him, honor Him, in everything I do. If I’m committed to His glory, He will change my thinking and direction.
“It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until he has hurt him deeply." God actually rises up storms of conflict in relationships at times in order to accomplish that deeper work in our character. We cannot love our enemies in our own strength. This is graduate-level grace. Are you willing to enter this school? Are you willing to take the test? If you pass, you can expect to be elevated to a new level in the Kingdom. For He brings us through these tests as preparation for greater use in the Kingdom. You must pass the test first.” - A.W. Tozer
