Being a living sacrifice is the first step in finding God’s will. It would really jump start your spiritual life to get off the throne and say, “Jesus, I want You to control my life.” Still, it’s a process. If you are living a totally selfish life right now, you have a lot of momentum built up in that direction. You can’t make a complete U-turn instantly. If the Lord suddenly turned you around, it would be a disaster—like trying to flip a U-turn while going 65 mph on the highway. It’s going to take God some time to turn you around and get you moving in the right direction.
