What is the basis for my inability to immediately follow you?

Written By Ricardo McGee

St John 13:37

Occasionally, there are instances when you are unable to comprehend the reasons behind your inability to accomplish your desired actions. During periods of divine waiting, when God seems unresponsive, refrain from filling the void with activities and just exercise patience. The period of anticipation may serve as a tool to instruct you in the concept of sanctification, which involves being separated from sin and attaining holiness. Alternatively, it may occur subsequent to the commencement of the sanctification process, in order to educate you about the significance of service. Avoid initiating any action unless you get divine guidance. If you possess even the most minimal uncertainty, then it might be concluded that He is not providing guidance. Whenever uncertainty arises, it is advisable to exercise patience and refrain from taking immediate action.

Initially, you may have a clear understanding of God's intention - whether it be the termination of a friendship, the dissolution of a business partnership, or any other action that you strongly believe aligns with God's plan for you. However, refrain from acting on the impulsive nature of that emotion. By doing so, you will inevitably give rise to complex predicaments that will require several years to resolve. Patience for divine timing will result in fulfillment devoid of anguish or disillusionment. When it comes to the divine will of God, it is advisable to patiently await His action.

Peter lacked patience for divine intervention. He anticipated the location of the test in his thoughts, yet it occurred at an unexpected place. "I am willing to sacrifice my life for you." Peter's statement was characterized by both candor and a lack of knowledge. "Jesus responded, '...the rooster will not make its call until you have rejected me three times'" (John 13:38). This statement reflects a more profound understanding of Peter's character than Peter himself possessed. His inability to comprehend his own identity and powers prevented him from accompanying Jesus. Inclination towards Jesus, driven by innate devotion, may initially captivate us with His irresistible allure, but it alone cannot transform us into true disciples. Inherent piety will reject Jesus, perpetually failing to fully embrace the essence of genuine discipleship.
