It is crazy.. I see how my life is and can look at different things and nit pick what is wrong and how it can be fixed. But it never goes that way to be fixed.
For instance. Money.. All we need is money to pay the bills. What if the job is not going well and what if it is gone, or the job is not paying or the money promised to you a long time ago still is not here? What then? Why is it not going the way we know it should be going? "Why am I not losing the weight? Why have I been so sick or why am I so sick? Why is so and so in my family sick? What is going on? My world is going crazy around me! Why can't God see how smart I are and just give me what I want? Why is it not going MY WAY?!"
We all ask these questions and think that. Come on you know that is true. We all think we are right and we all think we know best. But has anything you wanted backfired on you? Then you are like wow I did not really want that... How many times do you think God has protected us from the backfire of what we thought we wanted and thought was right. We forget we are influenced by our surroundings a lot and a lot of times forget what our mission on this earth really is. It is about God not us. It is about the salvation of those around us. Those we do not know and those we do know. We live in the world and God wants us to live in it the best we can, but His way not our way. He wants us to trust Him with everything we have. Our health our money our lack of money our family our fears, all of it turned over to His hands.
When we asked Jesus into our hearts we turned our lives over to God. We submitted to Him and ask for his covering to protect us from true death. This life is temporary. We have a new reason to live now. Spread Jesus' love and show the truth to those who are blind. Yes we are to live and love and have family and friends but that all comes secondary to making sure our family and friends know the truth. We are to be bold for Jesus. Not be afraid of them not liking us or thinking we are crazy. We know we are not.
It is being selfish that makes us want everything our way. Yes we need to be responsible but keep an eye on what you are doing and why and make sure you understand that God is truly in control. Like Job said, "God giveth and God taketh away."
Think about this. God loves you so much that He sent His only son to die so that we would not all die the death that will be tormenting because He will no longer be there. So if God loves you that much then He is not going to lead you to a place that will be horrible.
Now we come to the other part. The devil does run this world and his main goal is to lead you away from God and to keep you on the track of that. And then you have free choice. We are surrounded by people who also want it their way and are not living in the Truth and even some who are who forget, so we are affected by their decisions. Not everything that happens to us is what God intended, but God can use anything and everything for His Glory and if we trust in Him the bad will be made good. We may not see it right away, but it will be and the perfect time when it is the most needed. We need to remember and hold on to this. God is Good and God wants the best for us. But in our own stubbornness we can prevent God from doing something. You say why? God can do anything. Yes but He has given us a free will and ultimately the choice is ours. We chose to follow God and trust He will keep us on the path that leads us to Him if we allow Him too. There is nothing anyone can do that can separate you from God. But on your own you can chose to walk away. So give up your way and let God show you His way. It is the best thing. And trust me I have to remember this one daily as well. OK sometimes every minute..........
