Saints Who Let God Promote Them To Accomplish A Divine Purpose Must Choose His
Path And His Way- Genesis 12:2, Isaiah 14:13
The third giant in Scripture was Ahiman. Ahiman was the oldest son of Anak. “I will sit on
The mount of The congregation.” That is implying, ‘I am my own law and no one corrects
me!’ We could view that this way, ‘I choose who I’m going to listen to and who I am not. I
choose who can speak into my life and who cannot. I’m going to control the voices I heed.’
In Genesis the Lord told Abraham in direct contrast, ‘I am the One who is going to choose. I
will bless you with people you do not consider a blessing. I will bless you and surround you
with people who will contribute to your character and growth and nature if you will listen.’
The ‘if you will listen’ is a huge part of that statement! The giant who resists could be termed
‘self-protection.’ We have to forfeit our self-protection and trust God. This involves surrender
and it involves giving up control and fully relying on the Lord to be our guidance and
direction. The Holy Spirit is our wise Counselor and will lead us on the path that shines
brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. Our Father God knows what will give us hope
and a future. God has prepared a growth path for us to walk and in God’s economy that
always includes surrender!
