He illustrates this through biblical examples like Eli and David, who accepted God's will without complaint. Gill explains that human will is often stubborn and resistant to God's authority, requiring divine grace to bring it into submission. He encourages believers to embrace God's sovereignty and goodness in all circumstances, asserting that true peace comes from acknowledging God's hand in our lives. Ultimately, Gill calls for a heart that willingly submits to God's plans, reflecting the perfect example of Christ's submission in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Delight Yourself in the Lord
By David Wilkerson0PSA 37:4JHN 10:14PHP 4:6David Wilkerson emphasizes that true peace and contentment come from fully resigning ourselves into God's hands, regardless of our circumstances. He highlights Psalm 37:4, which encourages us to delight in the Lord, assuring us that He will fulfill our heart's desires. By trusting in God's care, we can face hardships without fear or anxiety, much like sheep trust their shepherd. Wilkerson shares his personal journey of learning to trust God one problem at a time, stressing that genuine resignation to God should be a proactive choice rather than a last resort. Ultimately, he calls for a faith that mirrors Abraham's, offering our lives to God as a blank check for Him to fill in.
