God in Control

Over the years, I have watched, prayed and anticipated God doing new and wonderful things. But I have to admit, it has taken a great deal of patience to let go and let God control each and every area of my life.

My tendency is to think, I can do a better job than God if I stick my fingers into the mix. Then the sad depiction is, I settle for second best for my life.

Over the next season of my life, I am going to work a little harder in Letting God be in control. When I practise this a little bit, it seems to me, I have less strife in my life and more peace. However, it is hard to get use to sitting in the drivers seat.

A couple of months ago, I was attending a meeting and someone else drove me. It was strange in the beginning but after a while, I grew more accustomed. Now I find myself enjoying it more and more. Today, I like it when others drive me around, but I do like the front seat.

Friends, let God do the driving and you can share the front seat with your Pastor as we watch Him take us places we didn't think was possible!

Proverbs 3:5-6 serves us well, 'Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge God and He will make your pathway straight(if you give him the controls).

What a great adventure we have in God when we know, he is the God of the controls...

What do you think?

Until Next Week...
