Michael Woods reflects on 35 years in ministry, describing times he pursued his own plans instead of God's and dropped the ball. True purpose, he argues, comes from obeying God's direction even when it conflicts with what you want, a lesson he's learning again with a new calling he's hesitant about.
Chapters
Notice what it says. It says nevertheless, which means God's idea, God's plan is never less than yours. I know you think you're smart, but God is smarter. Yes, Lord. Yes, I know, I know, I know you think you got, got it together, you understand how it needs to be done, but God said the only thing that's going to last forever is what I have I don't know about you, I'm going with what God said. Yeah, there have been some seasons in my life where I did it Michael Woods way. I've been, I've been doing this what I'm doing full-time for 35 years. I've dropped the ball several times because I did it my way. But the moment I resolve God is whatever you want It's whatever you propose. Matter of fact, even in this season of my life, my wife and I were talking about it, uh, on the way down. God has proposed to me to do something, and I'm like, God, I really don't want to do this, but if this is what you're proposing, I'm going to obey because you can see what I can't see.
