Deep Spiritual Aspects God Wants to Instill in Us

What if we knew God wanted deep spiritual aspects for our Christian lives?

These aspects, once instilled in us, help us on our spiritual journey, but are different than what we often want.

What’s happening in our world confirms this truth: we have zero control over most things in life.

Still, the Lord never created us for control. Control was always meant to remain with Him.

“For kingship belongs to the Lord, and he rules over the nations.” Psalm 22:28 (ESV)

Instead, our heavenly Father created us for dependency on Him. 

So there are deep spiritual aspects the Lord wants for our good and His glory.

Here, we will discuss 4 of these and compare each to what we might prefer.

(1.) God wants our surrender, not our sufficiency: Deep Spiritual Aspects

Although your struggles and needs may look different than mine, we all experience the same moments of desperation. 

Like the kind that makes us hope we are all cried out, or question our faith, or pray the same prayer over and over.

But we hold the power not to let it affect the trajectory of our lives. Our power comes in focusing on how complete God is, not how incomplete we are. We concentrate on our heavenly Father’s sufficiency, not of our shortage. 

To do this, we put the spotlight on God’s power and glory. Total serenity comes in placing our hope in the Lord alone. We fully surrender to who He is as God and Lord over our lives.

“Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God.” 2 Corinthians 3:4 (ESV)

Prayer: Lord, help me surrender to You. Because in You, I find true sufficiency. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
