Where is your back?
Acts 7: 39

“But our fathers refused to obey him. Instead, they rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.”

It doesn’t matter how gracious God is or what He does and saves people from, there is one thing He will not do and that is to break the will of a person. That is ours.
What will we do with our will?!
There is only one thing we should do with it and that is to submit it to Him.
God’s people in the story of Moses didn’t. They did not obey and then they rejected Him. To say No and then to turn their back on God was what made them die in the desert.
The submission of your will is the greatest challenge of your life.
Yesterday I talked with one of our missionaries who has done exactly that. The person hasn’t got what they perhaps originally had wanted and still want. But they are content to have a heart that is turned towards God and not to their past.
Your back should be towards Egypt, your past, instead of your back against God.
Take your will and submit it.
