Out of Control

And that’s the way I like it.

Because God’s ways are above our ways, we can never fully understand our journey. We do not see the big picture. We cannot be in control of our life because we do not see it as He does. Therefore, we deceive ourselves if we think we can figure His will and then go do it.

Trying to understand is a natural instinct, but only creates uncertainty and anxiety because results do not match up to expectations. The things of God are spiritually appraised. If we truly believe He loves us as a loving father, then we can trust Him to work out the big picture and give us wisdom for the many little things. With this kind of faith, we will do His will not fully knowing we are. Just love Him, pray and ask for guidance.

But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. 1 Cor 2:14
