Many times in the Bible the disciples tried to correct the Lord.
There were many times they argued with Him.
See how many times their thoughts contradicted the Master.
See how many times they urged Him to take action and the Lord, ever patient, would correct them.
In every case we see that He is Lord, and they are the disciples.
The roles must never be confused.
He is the Master, and we are his servants. We do not command Him, but He commands us.
We do not direct Him, but He directs us. We do not lead Him, but He leads us.
He was not created for us, but we were created for Him.
He does not serve us according to our pleasure, but we serve Him according to His pleasure.
So we must change for Him, and not the other way around.
The Lord will never apologize to us and say, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. We'll do it your way."
How laughable! How absurd!
But we often live as if we expect Him to do that very thing.
We have
not humbled ourselves. All who want power with God must see that His power is
released through our weakness - II Corinthians 12:9.
Do realize that you are
weak, whether you admit it or not, but the power of humility is in recognizing
and agreeing before God that we really can do nothing of our own selves.
GOD's
power will not be given to the proud for GOD hates a proud look and a proud
heart.
God is not looking for volunteers to serve at their own convenience, as
their schedule permits, but He calls for disciples who will lay down their lives
and follow Him.
GOD's power is not revealed to us when we are proud, but when we
are humble.
