Another day of tired pensiveness, and I've been thinking about how I trust God with my life, and how hard that is when I try to retain control of certain areas of my life. First of all, the control is an illusion. Even what I think I have control over is something that God has blessed me with, something He has planned out in advance, something He can change to fit into His plan. Second, if I really trust God with my life, what am I doing holding so tightly to things that I may need to let go of if He asks me to? That's not to say that God is planning to take away everything that I like, but is holding onto something good keeping me from something better? Perhaps God has blessed me in a certain way for a certain season, and by holding tightly to that I'm ignoring new blessings that He wants to bring about, and ways that He wants me to grow and develop. It's a lot to think about, but what I know for sure is that rather than holding tightly to things which may be here today and gone tomorrow, I want to hold tightly to God. He will always be there, and in following His lead I will find His purpose for each day. It may be new and different, it may be the same, but in His will it will be the right thing to do, and the right place to be.
Lord, grant me peace each day as I place my trust in You, and look to You for my purpose each day. Amen.
