DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.W. Tozer emphasizes the importance of allowing God to work in our
lives without interference, urging us to let go of our control and trust
in His perfect timing and methods. He highlights that while we desire
the benefits of God's grace, we often resist the transformative work He
wants to do within us, fearing the changes it may require. Tozer
encourages believers to simply look to God and allow Him to kindle a
passionate longing for Him, reminding us that He is the ultimate
Physician who knows what we need. By surrendering our will and letting
God alone, we can experience a vibrant spiritual life that reflects His
glory.

But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and
complete, lacking nothing. --James 1:4

God is saying, "I stand ready to pour a little liquid fire into your
heart, into your spiritual being!"

We respond: "No, Lord, please excuse me. That sounds like fanaticism--
and I would have to give up some things!" So we refuse His desire, even
though we want all the benefits of His cross.

There is this thoughtful phrase in The Cloud of Unknowing: "He wills
thou do but look on Him and let Him alone." Let God alone. In other
words, let Him work! Don't stop Him. Don't prevent Him from kindling
your heart, from blessing you and leading you out of a common state into
that of special longing after Him. You don't have to coax God. He is not
like a reluctant father waiting for his child to beg. The blessings are
His to give and He waits for us to let Him work....

"Look on Him and let Him work, let Him alone." Get your hands down to
your side and stop trying to tell God where to cut. Stop trying to make
the diagnosis for God. Stop trying to tell God what to give you. He is
the Physician! You are the patient....

Let Him work and your spiritual life will begin to blaze like the rising
sun. I Talk Back to the Devil, 63-64.

"Lord, I know there is a work You want to do in my life today. I'll try
to stay out of the way, take my hands off, and let You work! I'll put my
hands to my side even now as a sign that I'm going to let You alone
today to do Your work in me. Amen."
