“Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every
way. The Lord be with you all.”
II Thessalonians 3:16 NKJV
God will give us
the peace that passes ALL understanding; if we will allow Him to do so.
When we’re willing to
live in and by the All Powerful Peace of God, we can have His Peace. We give
aside our ways of trying to figure out things.
How to make 2 + 2 = 4; how to make all the loose ends come together.
There is no peace in
constantly trying to “one-up” God on how to make life’s problems and situations
work. There is no joy, no peace, no
constant relying on God as our Source. If anything, we are actually relying on
ourselves and only using God as our “standby”.
God sees us as we go
to and fro trying to “make a way”, trying to “pull it all together.” We become so consumed with the problem we
forget that this is completely against God’s will for our lives. We can never solve our problems the way God
wants, because only He knows our future.
His Word says to us, “Come to me all you who labor and are
heavy laden and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV
This means we are to STOP trying to be the God of our
life. Just be His child and let Him be
God. And let Him be IN CONTROL.
The equation has to be in the correct order. His is God, we are His child. We depend on Him. He is Almighty. He depends on NO-ONE. HE IS THE ANSWER TO EVERY PROBLEM!
We hurt and injure His Holy Spirit when we try putting
ourselves in His Place. The Holy Spirit
is constantly hovering over us just trying to get us to STOP trying to be the
problem solver, and just let Him have control of everything; and I do mean
EVERYTHING!
Nothing is too large or too small and insignificant for
Him! This is the way and the ONLY way
that the God-man relationship can and will work. He is God, we are His
children. Oh! What peace we forfeit when
we do not “let go and let God” be completely in charge of our lives.
The only thing that God does want us to do is have a
constant praise on our lips and a prayer in our hearts, because no matter what
is going on in our life, we can trust God to be the Captain at the helm of our
life boat. He will steer us through the
storm and into calm waters.
Blessings

Amen my wise, beautiful friend. I love you.
"This means we are to STOP trying to be the God of our life. Just be His child and let Him be God. And let Him be IN CONTROL."
Yes mam. And how difficult that is for us sometimes. I know for me it's hard to let go--I believe we live in such a "controlling" world, we scramble to maintain control...relinquishing our rights to US to HIM is difficult.
Wise words....from a wise, spiritually insightful "mama". I love you!
