Have you ever just looked at your life and wondered what God was thinking? Or find yourself in a state of panic because you felt that you were losing your grip on life? Then it seems like in the moments that you feel that way, God is watching you from some LCD screen having a good laugh at you. Sometimes I feel that way, then things work out and I think, God is probably having a little giggle over my lack of faith.
The truth is, we are usually quick to react with panic and terror when things do not go as we planned them and in the midst of running around like headless chickens trying to make things alright or to fix them, we forget to simply surrender control to the One who should have been in control from the first place.
You know what I love about God? He wont force Himself on you, even when He sees that you are drowning in yourself, He is that type of gentleman who will always wait that you ask before He invades in your business. Most of the time, we tend to think that we are capable and have it all figured out, that's when He places a pool in front of us and has a little chuckle watching us try to swim our way through. Knowing very well that all He is waiting for, is for us to ask and then He will rescue us from drowning.
Often we find ourselves worrying over things that He already has answers for and we waste precious time, trying to prove to God knows who that we can do it on our own. But we miss that we dont need to, we have Him at our disposal, waiting on us to just seek His wisdom and guidance, waiting on us to just call on Him so that He can work it out.
I recently found myself in a fearful situation, my first reaction was to try and gather the little knowledge I have to fix the problem but infact all I was doing was denying God the chance to work in my life, the chance to use me and the chance to give me more than I ever imagined for myself. So it hit me last night, stop living life like you have it all figured out, God is the author of your life and what He is busy writing may be far different from what you are busy writing. With that said, I decided to trust Him enough to never lead me where His grace and mercy will not follow me. And I took the plunge today to do, what the next person may deem stupid but is actually an act of faith for me.
To new beginnings!
