“Let go of your concerns! Then you will know that I am God. I rule the nations. I rule the earth.”(Psalm 46:10 GWT)
When we commit our lives to God, the desire to be filled with the Holy Spirit germinates in our hearts. However, many of us are reluctant to empty ourselves completely. We want to be transformed, but we are unwilling to change. We want to be empowered, but we don’t want to give up control.
The Holy Spirit is too expansive to share space with our egos. In order to make room, we have to let go of a lot of things. We have to surrender our plans, timetables, identities, and the desire to be in charge of our own lives. Commitment requires consecration. We cannot just speak words of dedication and continue striving to further our agenda. We must acknowledge that God is in control.
