What is it that you want or need God to do for you? Are you trying to dictate the way you want it done? We have to remember, God has a plan. His thoughts are not always our thoughts and His ways are not always our ways. We have to learn how to not only accept what God wants us to do, we have to learn how to do it the way He wants.
We will encounter many twists and turns on this road called life. Sometimes things work out the way we thought they would or should and then there are times when nothing seems to go the way we thought they would or should have gone but it's okay when your faith, hope, and trust are all in God's plan. We learn daily through our lives with God the fact that we don't have to be in control, we just need to learn how to surrender control to Him.
When you think about control, you understand it is the power to influence or to direct behavior. We need to see and understand that behavior has an influencer. Something or someone that inspires it or guides it. What is inspiring your actions today? What is leading you and guiding you to do what you do? In other words, what is controlling your thoughts and ultimately influencing your actions? Make sure that the primary influencers in your life is God and His Word.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
Psalm 1:1-2
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night.”
