Each Sunday I sit there and say I will do it today, but the service is over, and it didn't happen. I promise God, I will do it this Sunday or that Sunday, but it never happens. The Same thing I do at home I cannot do the same at church. I want God to lead, and I want to make room for Jesus. I could tell you that I need to l need to just let go and let God which I have talked about, or I could say I need to let go and just let God take over.
But is that simple when you need to make room for Jesus? If it were that simple, I would have already done it. Sometimes making room for Jesus is harder than you think. 35 The people of Israel ate the manna forty years, till they came to a habitable land. They ate the manna till they came to the border of the land of Canaan. Exodus 16:35. 5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxed old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxed old upon thy foot. Deuteronomy 29:5. If you remember the story that the verse talks about above, the people were supposed to cross over the Red Sea and go directly to the promised land after the mountain they were to go to. But it was simple, but they mucked it and they spent 40 years in the desert before they could get into the promised land that God had for them. God had laid everything out for them, and they still managed to muck it up and sin and then wait 40 years.
So making room for Jesus in that room you need to open to God is harder even when the road may be easy and just like Israelites, we tend to muck it up and sin and get in the way. When all we need to do is to get out of the way and let God Make the room.
All this points to my main point and that is making room for Jesus is harder than you think sometimes even when He is right in front of you. whether I do let go and do what I talked about yesterday by making room for Jesus in that way that will be the room where I not only have to cross the Red Sea but to not muck it up, so I don't have to wait 40 years to do it and be in the wilderness like Israel. I cannot tell you that you can do this, I do not know if that room you have will you make room for Jesus. God is with us as it says in Romans 8:31 (What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? Romans 8:31). Is that enough I cannot say. Normally I would say yes that is enough, but I cannot today for I have not made room for Jesus in my room yet. So I struggle for another week with this, and Sunday will come, and have no clue if I will make the room or not. I would like to think I would but no clue. I tell you this that the same things I ask and talk to you about I struggle with some of them too. I need what I talk about too.
So, while you try to make room for Jesus and keep trying to make it. One day you will be victorious hopefully I will to.
