Day 4 - When Wills Collide

The most revealing moment in the Christian life is not Sunday morning worship. It is the moment when what you want and what God wants stand face to face. In that collision, the truth of who occupies your throne becomes undeniable. God, as Creator, knows the end from the beginning. He sees your life in its entirety - every consequence of every choice, every door that leads somewhere you cannot yet see. Trusting Him in that collision is not weakness. It is the highest form of faith. Surrendering your will to His is not the loss of your voice. It is the finding of your purpose.

Can you recall a time when God said no to something you desperately wanted, and you later understood why? What did that teach you about His character?
