To set the stage this is the passage of the experience of the "Transfiguration on the Mount" found in Luke 9:28-36 I am only going to write a portion of this.
Luke 9:33-36 Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah---not knowing what he was saying. While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the cloud. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying This is My beloved Son, Hear Him! When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. But they kept quiet and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.
Peter knew he needed to do something with what he saw and heard, and on his own he decided building three tabernacles to honor them would be a good thing to do. How often do we decide what is the best thing that needs to be done to give God the glory, and yet it is not what God wants us to be doing. Oh it may not be a bad thing, yet the purpose that God has for us is not being fulfilled when we on our own decide how we are to bring Him glory. immediately after Peter said this the Glory of God appeared in the Cloud and God the Father said "Hear Him!" You see everything that Jesus did was only as God the Father revealed it to Him.
John 6:19-20 Then Jesus answered and said to them, Most assuredly, I say to you the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
Many times Jesus had to withdraw and be by Himself, just He and God, a place to rest, a place to be in the presence of His Father. Yet, we or maybe just me, seem to think we do not need this place of rest, and we do. When God spoke "Hear Him" it also spoke to me, it is saying do not move, do not attempt to fulfill a purpose I haven't given you. Wait on the instructions that Jesus is to give me, before I move one more step.
Sometimes, God says it is time to stop doing something He had previously instructed us to do, times when He begins to prune some things from our life so that we can grow more. Then at times He will say keep doing what you are doing, be diligent to continue with the last thing I have given you to do. Consider Noah he was diligent to complete the task he had been given for 120 years.
For me personally, I believe I am in the place where my Lord is saying: "Sit here awhile, don't run ahead of Me, what I have for you to do is far better than what you can accomplish without Me." So I will sit, and wait, and listen and I will be prepared for when He speaks "I Move".
Hope my daily walk with God helps someone in their daily walk.
Be blessed and may God be glorified in all you do.
