It’s my way, or the highway.
We tend to want things done our way, especially when it comes to our own lives. We want to be in control, make the choices, try, fail, and learn the hard way. Somehow, we think we know better, we feel qualified, intelligent and experienced. After all, living life can’t be that hard!? Can it?
And so we go on living our lives to the best of our knowledge. Or, to the best of some of our knowledge to be honest; because, we cheat a lot at this game called life, and quite frankly, we like cheating. More or less constantly we do things we know we shouldn’t and so, we ignore some of our knowledge and\or conscience. Quite often we convince ourselves that it’s OK, that the things we do or don’t do, is minor compared to the big picture. We think we know it all, although we never say it out load, or even realize that this is what we believe, but all to often our actions proclaim it.
The Bible tells us a different story indeed, and i pray for myself and for you, that we will come to our senses and realize the truth.
God knows best, and he wants our best. You don’t know best, I don’t know best, not any of us sinful beings from earth, the fallen planet, know best. Think about it for a moment, if you have to make an important decision, and you have two choices, either you choose the decision of some brilliant professor, which he has based on research and knowledge over a wast period of his life, or you choose the decision of our God, the creator, all knowing, all powerful, all seeing, forever existing, …, you get the picture. What would be the best choice?
Let our choice be Him.
All we have to do, is to every day, choose Christ. It doesn’t matter what we did yesterday. It doesn’t matter that Satan uses to win. Our God is much much stronger that that. All to often we fail to realize that. It’s like he’s up there, and most of the time he’s not doing much, because no one down here believes he can, and even fewer let him do anything.
Now don’t get me wrong, God is not sitting on his couch twisting thumbs in boredom, but i hope you got what i was trying to say; God is limited by what we allow him to do, he respects our free will that he so lovingly have given us.

It is true that disappointments will come; tribulation we must expect; but we are to commit everything, great and small, to God. He does not become perplexed by the multiplicity of our grievances, nor overpowered by the weight of our burdens. His watchcare extends to every household, and encircles every individual; He is concerned in all our business and our sorrows. He marks every tear; He is touched with the feeling of our infirmities. All the afflictions and trials that befall us here are permitted, to work out His purposes of love toward us–”that we might be partakers of His holiness,” and thus become participants in that fullness of joy which is found in His presence.
So, let us come to our senses, and make the best choice; letting God choose! Or maybe we should say, let us come to Gods senses.
Have a Happy Sabbath, and trust in God to lead your life. He knows our needs, and longs our best.
NB: This FNB blog post took it’s own turns, and ended somewhere else than i was planing, hopefully someone needed just that :)
