Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

     We have a stunning privilege.
     We can stand before the One  Who is far and above all others, and Who is able 
to do beyond what we ask.
     And, He wants to.
     There are times when we don't feel  like we believe He will do anything, but we ask
anyway because there is nothing else that can be done.  Most of the time, if there
is anything we can do, we would much rather do it than lean on Him.  
     It isn't hard to ask Him to let us do what we want, but it is hard to ask Him for His
way, and then wait for Him to reveal what that is.
     Because in our heart of hearts, we are not sure He will really be true to His
Word.  If we really believed Him, we would have gone to Him in the first place and 
sought his way and His way alone.
     Soldier, the process of believing God is a learned one.  We all know with our 
heads He can be trusted, but actually trusting Him is another matter.  So, we must be
trained.
     And we must submit to that training.  
     Outloud.
     You must hear yourself making a resolve before Him.
     Allow Him to reveal His creativity.
     Allow Him to reveal His Love.
     Allow Him to have room in the situation.
     Back off, and let God be God.
