Someone once said that when we ask the Lord for direction, He gives us instructions, but most times, they come in bits.
Abraham desired a child, yet God first told him, “Go to the land I will show you.” As we read his story, we see that God led him step by step, all the way to the fulfillment of the promise.
I once asked JJ, “Why didn’t God just give Abraham the full blueprint? At least that way he could move forward all at once.”
But I’ve come to understand something: most times when I receive just one word from God, I run with it using human wisdom and strength. I often return to Him only when the journey — and the weight of that word — becomes overwhelming.
God does not want us to be overwhelmed. Rather, He is saying, “Stay plugged in.”
When He came into the garden seeking Adam and Eve, it was because He desired a relationship—a connection in which we remain dependent on Him for everything.
Much of today’s world promotes self-dependence — trusting in our own ability and wisdom, living as though there is no supreme Being guiding our lives. But we do not serve a dictator. Our God desires a relationship in every way. Yes, He corrects us when we become stiff-necked, but above all, He asks, “Will you trust Me with all your heart?”
For every seed the Lord gives us, He is not expecting us to run to man for fertilization. He wants us to come to Him — to partner with His Spirit to bring forth fruit from the seed.
When Mary asked, “How can this be?” the angel told her that the Spirit of the Lord would come upon her.
If you are in a moment where all you can think is, “How can this be?” God is saying,
“I did not speak it so you could accomplish it in your own strength. I spoke it so you would trust Me to bring you into the fullness of My word.”
Stay revived!
