As I was reading my Bible tonight and talking with God, I hear Him say to me "Come out deeper." I know what He is calling me to do... a fast. It has been too long since I've been on a fast. It's going to be difficult. But I do believe that that is just what I need. I have been wading out into God's living waters perhaps even waist deep when I should be fully immersed. I must admit that when you're in water only up to your waist you're, although a strong current could sweep you off your feet, you still feel like you're in control. But when you're fully immersed in a rushing river you have no control. The waters around you are in control of where you go and how fast you get there. God wants that from me. He wants me to let go of my sense of control and let His living waters sweep me off my feet and carry me off to where He wants me to be. To be fully immersed is what He asked of me.
I know this is a personal conversation between God and myself, but I felt led to share it because I believe that He is asking others to do the same. Let go of your sense of control and let God take you where you need to be.
