I always thought I controlled my own destiny, you know, life is what you make it. I never thought about having free will, it was just something we possessed , everything in my life, good or bad ,was by my hand.
I never could understand why I did some of the things in the course of my life I had done.
As I reflect over the years of my life, I think about the things I tried to change in my life, you know, wisdom tells one how they ought to live and as much as I desired to change certain things about me I couldn’t.
For many years I always thought there was something wrong with me, well, if we control our destiny, how is it that I can’t change a thing about me?
The spiritual education I received here at B.T. allowed me to understand why I suffered so many failures in all my attempts at trying to make changes in me.
When one comes to understand that God is sovereign then one must conclude they are not sovereign. We are either slaves to sin or slaves to righteousness according to scripture and according to scripture, its not in man to direct his own footsteps.
I still like the slogan prepare, Jesus is coming but still I realize its only Jesus who can prepare me, I cannot prepare myself as scripture is quite clear in that Jesus is the author and finished of our faith.
I refuse to argue with the word of God.......He won’t let me.
