One night as I was putting my little Jojo to bed, I noticed that he had something in his mouth. It was a mouthful of candy! The little rascal. He was pretty bummed when I had him spit it all out. I vividly remember how he looked at me and with a sigh, he said, "Go ahead. Do what you gotta do."
Jordan didn't resist, didn't argue, didn't excuse. I laughed, but got to thinking how often my tendency is to resist God's work in my life, to make excuses and justify my attitudes.
David seemed to understand this too as he prayed in Psalm 27, "Teach me your way, O Lord; lead me in a straight path. . ."
I want Jesus to have his way in my life. Lord, do what you gotta do.
