One thing that I'm sure we all struggle with from time to time; is remaining in sync with God. Did you know that when we can truly remain in sync with God…especially during the difficult times of life; that this is our hearts way of saying; that we have completely placed our trust in God?
As I was getting around this morning, after a rough night of pain; it seemed like my nerves were attempting to take me one step beyond God. As I tried to relax and focus on where God wanted me to be for the moment; I cried out to Him and said…"Help me Lord, to take life one minute at a time, so You can piece this day together…one piece at a time." As the morning continued to be a little bit of a struggle for me; God began to remind me of some Bible verses in Ecclesiastes 3:9-11, which says… "What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? 10I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 11He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end." One thing that God is placing upon my heart right now is this; no matter what we attempt to do, as a means of making a difficult situation better; God is the only One who can turn these difficult times around and make them into something beautiful. Don't we realize that when we allow the frustrations and overwhelming feelings of a problem to take us even one step ahead of God; that this is going to take us out of sync with the One who can control these moments and take us to a place beyond the problem? You know…we just can't think that we are in sync with God; when we are already trying to devise a way out of the problem. Remaining in sync with God means that we are trusting Him, for every step we take in life. Maybe those steps will seem like baby steps at the time; but we must also realize that no matter how big or little the steps may be; God is working to piece together the things that were once broken in our lives. The one thing that has truly been an eye opener to me in Ecclesiastes 3:11, is where it says… "also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end." Since He created us in a way, where only He knows what is going to take place in our lives…and since He is the only One who knows how it all will end; then why are we trying to get ahead of Him and figure out something that we don't even have a clue about? Don't we realize that when we try to get ahead of God; then we are only walking into unknown territory; where we are even more vulnerable to the ways of evil? There's only one way that can help us to remain in sync with God…and it's found in Proverbs 3:5-6, which says… "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." In other words…when we trust God for each step we take, rather than turning inwardly to our own man made knowledge; then in the end…we will find ourselves completely in sync with Him, as He works to make all things beautiful…in the way He had purposed from the very beginning. Have a very blessed day! It's Always & Only Because of Him… Diane Return Back to the Main Page Comments are closed.
