Have you ever found yourself trying to force a result, prying at the doors of heaven and demanding that God fix your situation right now? We are such an outcome-based people. We want the pain to stop, the diagnosis to change, and the struggle to end. But my friend, God isn’t nearly as interested in the outcome as He is in the process. He is doing a work in you that only the ‘crushing’ of life can produce.
In this video, Steve Fischer and I talk about the difficult but beautiful discipline of letting God do His work. Steve shares so honestly about the scaffoldings of expectation we build for our lives—our plans for our children, our careers, our health—and how painful it is when God has to pry our hands off those things to show us a better way. It isn’t easy, and it certainly isn’t always happy. But when we move from the grim resolution of ‘this is my cross to bear’ to the hopeful acceptance of ‘this is my Father’s plan,’ everything changes. I invite you to join us as we discuss how to stop being the ‘fixer’ and start being the one who rests in the sovereign, loving hands of the Savior.
