Do you ever
feel that you have a situation all figured out and that if God would
only do what you feel is right then everything in the universe would
align? Well, I am being honest and saying, "I have and try not to, but
fall into that often!" I can clearly see what needs to happen and yet
God doesn't allow that to take place. I guess He is not listening to
what I have told Him I need or what I want to happen. Does this sound
familiar? I find myself getting upset and frustrated with God. Yes, I
said it. When we are in a relationship with another, even God, we get
upset and that's normal.
What I have to
remember is that no matter how great my plan seems to me, Psalm 18 tells
me that God's way is perfect! After reading that, I know my plans can
never compete with those of our heavenly Father. My plans have never
nor ever will be perfect. It also tells me in this scripture that the
Lord's Word is flawless. I looked up the definition of flawless and
found that it means "without any mistakes or shortcomings; perfect".
So, now we also know that when we read something in the Bible it is the
truth and that there are no mistakes in what it tells us. We can
believe it.
The end of the
scripture leaves me feeling so comforted and loved. God tells us that
He will shield me or protect me. I don't know about you, but I need
daily protection from the enemy and his terrible schemes. And then God
ends the scripture telling me and you that we can take refuge in Him.
Refuge to me is a safe, secure, and peaceful place. In the world that
encircles me today, I know that I need a place of refuge.
So, as we
create lofty plans for the Lord in our own minds and continue to figure
everything out, lets try and remember to stop and let God have His way
for it really is perfect!
