In my late thirties and early forties, I went through a nine-year wilderness experience that I thought would never end. Forty years? To me, that is unimaginable. But Moses didn’t become the man God had in mind overnight, and neither will we. I’ve found that the process of transformation and learning humility often goes like this: Step 1: I tell God what I’m going to do. Step 2: God responds. Step 3: I beg God to let me do it anyway. Step 4: He humbles me until I listen. Step 5: God tells me what He is going to do.
