HE IS GOD
I know that
everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing
taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him. Ecclesiastes 3:14
God takes delight in
your enjoyment. But beloved, understand that all enjoyment must be discovered
by realizing that God is in charge of life and that He will not bend His
perfect plan. God has sovereignly, independently, set up the plan of life in a
way with which we cannot interfere. He has done so in order that people would
revere Him.
All through the
Bible we read that “the fear of the Lord
is the beginning of wisdom.” Until a person recognizes and trusts the
superior wisdom of God, he or she has not begun to fear God. This fear is not
abject terror of God; it is respect and honor for Him. If you attempt to live
your life without the recognition of God, ultimately you will find yourself
empty, dissatisfied and restless, feeling that life is miserable and
meaningless. The secret of life’s enjoyment is found the presence of God
Himself.
Most of the struggle
of life comes from us trying to be God, wanting to be in charge of what happens
to us. Often when God’s plan does not go with our expectation, we get angry
with Him and throw away our faith. Remember, God will not surrender to your
plans because He knows what is best for you. Always let God be God in your life
and you will find life very satisfying!
Prayer
Dear Lord, I thank
you for the gift of life today. I pray that you will forgive me for thinking I
know what is best for me and for others. Please teach me to trust in your work,
because I know that nothing can be added to it. I revere you as my Lord and
King in Jesus’ name. Amen.
