Let God Be God

Sometimes we try with all our might to do things the way we want them to be done, instead of doing them the way God wills them to be done. When something doesn’t work out the way we would have liked or planned, it is easy to get upset, or down. We all are guilty of a time when we wanted our way and not God’s way. Maybe for a brief moment we thought we knew better than God what was best for our lives. Friends, let God be God in life, because his will and plans for us are specific; he knows what is best for each of us. God knows exactly what we need and when we need it. It may not be in our timing, but trust Him and his intimate knowledge and love for us to do what’s best from his vantage point.

Proverbs 16:9 In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
