Mea e 'a e tatau ma le aso
“When it pleased God ” (Galatians 1:15).
As servants of God, we must learn to make room for Him—to give God “elbow room.” We plan and figure and predict that this or that will happen, but we forget to make room for God to come in as He chooses. Would we be surprised if God came into our preaching or into our witnessing in a way we had never expected Him to come? Do not look for God to come in a particular way, but do look for Him.
The way to make room for Him is to expect Him to come all the time, but not in a certain way. No matter how well we may know God, the great lesson to learn is that He may break in at any minute. We tend to overlook this element of surprise, yet God never works in any other way. Suddenly, God meets our life “when it pleased God.”
Keep your life so constantly in touch with Him that His surprising power can break through at any point in your life. Live in a constant state of expectancy of Him, and leave room for God to come in as He decides, when He decides, and how He decides. “When it pleased God ”
