“Stop your striving
and recognize that I am God! I will be
exalted over the nations! I will be
exalted over the earth!” Psalm 46:10
God sure has a unique way of speaking to me. As stubborn as I am, He often hits me with the
same truth(s) over and over again until I finally yield. The past month has provided a wonderful season
of Spiritual growth for me and the reoccurring themes that I have been focusing
on are: ‘giving up control’ and ‘yielding to God.’ Almost daily, I have either read or heard something regarding the subject matter
of ‘letting go and letting God.’
The key to giving up control in our life and submitting to
God requires us to be patient and wait while remaining hopeful and
trusting. These virtues certainly do not
come natural for me, as I would like to have some say over matters or hang onto
a false sense of belief that I am actually in control of my life. Our strength is found in our weaknesses and
our patience in waiting for Christ to do His work, which is evidence
that we honestly do trust Him.
Hoping is directly tied to our future inheritance in heaven,
but the benefits of hope can be experienced right now. Instead of trying to manipulate or ‘control’
every aspect of our lives, we must learn to just live each day simply looking
for or just being aware of His presence.
Your eyes will be opened to a whole new world realizing that God is the
one who is in control and his plans are for our good!
