Getting Out of the Way

Recently, I was having a converstation with a young man, who I was ministering to with 60 days clean from crack cocaine. We talked about a lot in reference to his sobriety, and I told him if he had already done 60 days, there's nothing out here that says that he can't be clean for another 60 days. He agreed and stated so eloquently, "I know, I just need to get out of my way."

That statement seemed so profound to me. Most of my issues, problems, and troubles have come because I was in the way. God has given us the plan, the permission, and the power to walk into a destiny of success physically, financially, socially, and spiritually but too often our will supercedes God's will and we find ourselves just like this crack addict. We begin to hate who we are, hate our situation, and hate the bad choices that we made. I could go on and on, but I will begin to get out of my way and let God have His way in my life.
