The same someone unknowingly taught me something profound through his blog today. God has it under control, whatever it is. It is amazing to me that I can learn the same lesson over and over and continue to need constant reminders. I often fail to give God the reins. Instead, I manipulate. Try as I might, I cannot come up with a more suitable verb. Manipulate seems so callous, even devious. But I am guilty of fitting that description. If I think something should change, I do what needs to be done. Correction: While omnipotent God Almighty sits on His thrown, I pathetically do what I think will end in my favored result, all the while not allowing the thought in my mind that God can do it without me. Often God will use me to do His will, but that is in His way and His timing.
So I finally let go on a particular issue. I kept my mouth shut because it was none of my business, and God inspired the result I was itching to catalyze myself. And He did it all by his lonesome. Amazing, Kristina. The unending, all-powerful God can handle it. How I wish that this time the lesson will sink in for longer.
I should not plug God into my plans; God may, instead, plug me into His plans, according to His sovereign (and much better!) will.
