LEAVE ROOM FOR GOD

servants of God, we must learn to make room for Him—to give God “elbow room.”
We plan and figure and predict that this or that will happen, but we forget to
make room for God to come in as He chooses. Would we be surprised if God came
into our meeting or into our preaching in a way we had never expected Him to
come? Do not look for God to come in a particular way, but do look for Him. The way to make room for Him is to expect Him to
come, but not in a certain way. No matter how well we may know God, the great
lesson to learn is that He may break in at any minute. We tend to overlook this
element of surprise, yet God never works in any other way. Suddenly—God meets
our life--“. . . when it pleased God . . .”
Keep your life so constantly in
touch with God that His surprising power can break through at any point. Live
in a constant state of expectancy, and leave room for God to come in as He
decides.
