Control freak...

I’ve recently moved. And a lot has happened in short time- living in new place, new job a lot of means I have a lot of adjusting to do. I’m staying with relatives trying to find my own place. And I’ve been pushing to find a place to stay, pushing myself to find a church. I haven’t even been here a week and I’m trying so hard to make things happen. And that I’m busy freaking out because it’s not all happening NOW!  God showed me that it’s because I don’t really trust Him. OUCH! He  wants me to let  Him lead me and show me the way in HIS time. You see there’s nothing wrong with me making plans, or making effort to let the things fall in place. But there is a problem with my attitude, “LORD you are taking too long, so I will help you a bit”. Talk about PRIDE- OUCH!!!!

You see when we try to control everything in our lives we live in the wrong belief that God is

not soveirgn, and we don’t allow Him to be in control. It shows we don’t really trust Him to

make things good. Yes we can make plans, but we must remember “The heart of man plans

his way, but the LORD establishes his steps.” Prov 16:9. We are to acknowledge God 

in all we do, and then He will lead us “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean 

on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight 

your paths.” Prov 3:5-6

So yes, let’s make plans but trusting Him to lead us. Let us check our attitudes when we plan, making sure that there is not pride and unbelief in our hearts. For He knows what we need, He will lead us, His heart towards us is good! Let us believe this and from this place, ‘Let go and let God take control’.

May the LORD bless you with the grace to let go

May He keep you on His paths as you acknowledge Him

May His face shine upon with His goodness.

And may He give you peace even in the chaos of not being in control.
