Donkeys are stubborn animals. As much as I don’t want to put myself in the same category, I have to admit that I can sometimes be stubborn. How about you?

Are there times that you simply refuse to see truth? Do you balk at being open? Are you bent on being right? These obstinate decisions hinder us in many ways.

The more we dig in our heels and resist God’s leading, the more we lose out. We don’t know the best way – God does! He has the best plan for us – whether we see it or not.

Yielding to God is a choice of trust. God alone is trustworthy. Too many people see Him through religious do’s and don’ts, pious behavior, and distorted perspectives.

God wants us to enjoy a satisfying, loving relationship with Him. He wants to lead us in His amazing, fulfilling plan for our lives. The choice is ours though. Will we follow Him or will we resist?

I believe we only resist because we don’t see Him the way He really is. If we did, we wouldn’t think twice about trusting Him. We wouldn’t hesitate to follow His leading.

When you find yourself in that state of resistance, simply ask God to show you why you are resisting. He’ll speak to you and show you what lie you have believed about Him that is hindering you from moving forward in the most incredible plan of your life!
