Daily Wisdom..."Healing of the Soul"

“Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened…” Psa 40:6

Sometimes what we think is an emotionally opened wound needing to heal – is God opening you up like an ear to hear Him and obey.  We must allow the Word of God to confront us, to disturb our security, to undermine our complacency and to overthrow our patterns of thought and behavior.  What's to be desired more than His love and what more is needed than His will; when we are our own master, don't we have a fool as a master?  the soundtrack for misery always is "I did it My Way."  The tearing and wounds of the soul may be the breaking of emotional chains that bind the heart to selfishness and allows you to wrestle free and abandon your soul to God's will.  You may wrestle, but in Him you have won.  You may regret, but in Him you will rise.  You may suffer, but in Him you are secure.

"Random acts of greatness pale in comparison to habitual acts of surrender and faithfulness."
