I sense God’s direction; I respond, But. . .
It may be as simple as the pie calling to me from the dessert case:
God: You don’t need that.
Me: But blueberries are good for me. But I worked so hard this morning, I deserve a reward. But they rarely have blueberry pie—better get it while I can.
In Acts 10, Peter gives God the reason why he couldn’t eat the unclean animals. He finally said yes, Lord. God’s intended consequence? Peter shared the Gospel with gentiles.
Get in the habit of saying yes, Lord. Experience God’s intended consequences.
