from Devotions with Pastor Stanton · host Stanton Petersen
Think about a time you tried to force a heavy door open, throwing all your weight into it, only to realize it was locked from the other side. In the same way, we spend so much energy trying to control our own lives, fighting for control over our families, our careers, and even our futures. We push, we pull, and we scheme. But what happens when our stubborn plans collide head-on with the sovereign will of God? Today, we look at a terrifying but beautiful moment when a man realizes he has been fighting the Almighty, and he finally drops his illusion of control to surrender to the Word of God.
