A toddler works, with frustration mounting, to fit a square block into the round hole. You want to help, but the little one quickly rejects the offer with, “I want to do it.”
We smile at such a thought, yet we are sometimes just as
stubborn as the toddler. We make our agendas, set our goals, map out our plans,
and begin the process of making them become a reality. Unless we start our
tasks at hand with, “God, this is the desire of my heart, but I want what you
want” approach, we will find ourselves frustrated and weary from pounding on
square blocks, doing our best to force them into round holes. We will
eventually achieve the tasks with determination by doing them our way, but not
without leaving the blocks and holes misshapen and scarred. A toddler has an
excuse for such behavior, but we do not.
“Delight thyself also in the
Lord, and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto
the Lord; trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.” (Psalm 37:4–5)
