Have you ever worked tirelessly toward a goal, only to realise the cost was too high? Maybe your relationships suffered, or you ended up feeling drained and exhausted.
In this episode on surrender, Lisa explores how waiting on God’s perfect timing leads to blessings that enrich our lives without added sorrow. She shares how, once we experience the presence of Jesus, the things we once clung to—whether a career, a relationship, the need for validation, or our own expectations—begin to lose their grip on us in the light of His presence, a far more secure and lasting source of hope.
She illustrates this through the story of Moses. Feeling God’s call on his life, Moses took matters into his own hands and stepped outside of God’s timing. As a result, he was forced to flee into the wilderness, where he spent 40 years in exile. Then, in a powerful encounter, God appears to him in a burning bush and calls him back to his purpose. By this time, Moses has been humbled by life—he no longer sees himself as capable or qualified to fulfill God’s calling. Yet, it’s precisely in this state of humility that God moves most powerfully, using Moses to perform miracles, signs, and wonders.
This story reminds us that God’s greatest work is never accomplished by our own strength. When the time is right, He Himself will bring His plans to pass.
