I was recently at a conference where the speaker was referring to the different stages of freedom. That "stuck" part of the process of freedom call "I can't" came to my mind. A log jam was the description of the speaker. I could see myself standing on the edge of the log jam...on top of the pile of logs. I was wishing and waiting on the "break free" and waiting.
"The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him." Psalm 28:7
I realized that the log jam represented my trying to do in my own strength what the Lord asked me to do in His. Suddenly, an active video of freedom formed in my heart and mind. I no longer had to struggle to kick out of the jam, I simply had to raise my hands in surrender. As I did, I flew as if on wings. He was waiting in this glorious river of freedom. Together, we swam as one. He was the leader. He led me in a dance of freedom in the water and in the sky. Colors and light reflected onto the water, and my heart soared at the secrets He whispered to me.
So it must be for all of us. It is time to stop trying to do things on our own strength. We must not let the devil make us feel like failures and remind us that we cannot do it. It is time to strongly say, "The Lord is my strength..." Lift up your hands in surrender today. See what is waiting in the air.
