so, you know better than me - part 2

I mean come on really, do I know better than God? Maybe you do? Is there anyone who knows better than God?

The answer is a resounding no.

So please tell me why I thought my wonderful idea would work and God's way wouldn't make the cut? I know, right. God. Almighty. Fail? Uh, never that. But that's exactly what it comes down to.

I thought I could go around God's "Let it be" response and "handle" things more effectively and quicker than God's plan. Boy did I set myself up for huge disappointment. Being out side of God's timing is a major gamble because I had some serious consequences to pay. (As I stated in Part 1, I should have listened.) This is exactly where not trusting God will take you.

I must have thought I was standing next to God in the throne room to override the King’s decision. Even the angels have better sense than that. Who in the world do I think I am to bypass God's command and think it wouldn't cost me anything?

That’s just it; I wasn’t thinking but responding out of emotion. One way or another, disobedience always cost something. My decision affected other people's lives, as well as my own.

Now did I mean to jump out here on my own? No, because I thought I was "helping" God. (Like, He needed my assistance). I made the situation ten times worse because I traveled outside of God's plan for one reason--selfishness.

See, I didn't want a by-and-by prayer, I wanted my now answer. Because I didn't see God do anything, so I took matters into my own hands. Not realizing God had indeed moved, it just wasn’t the answer I was looking for. It's the truth. This hurt me because this isn’t my first lesson in this area.

Let me tell you, my decision wasn't worth the agony, stress and emotional roller coaster I set in motion because I couldn't trust God to handle things. My aim was low; when I should have been looking high. God’s ways are never like ours because He Is God. He knows best. He knows what’s best for us. I know I will think more than once about playing God. 

I pray that you will join me because God really does have the master plan. After all, He’s the Master. Will you trust God to MOVE without interference from you? I shared with you to help you recognize your "let it be" situations. It's time to discern when to be still until God tells us to move.

Be Your TruU by trusting God

Isaiah 55:
 8 ¶For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
