I am learning that when something is lingering in my soul and mind...it is most likely there for a reason. For instance, I have been reading Streams In the Desert just about every morning for a couple months now (For those of you who haven't heard of it, it is an excellent devotional book to help you through difficult times - which let's be honest, can seem to be quite often). Yesterday's reading was about a man who asked God for the key to control the wind. God gave it to him, but the man gave it right back because he was afraid if he shut the wind off, it would cause some detrimental affect to the earth that he didn't know about. Well as the man handed the key back to God, he saw that God was holding all the keys of his life. He recognized that if God knew what was best for the wind and the earth, then He most certainly knew what was best for his life and that He could trust Him.
We can trust the one that holds the keys to our life, our families, our earth's, our atmosphere, our universe. God knows what is best - and sometimes it feels like He doesn't. But alas God says, "“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” {Is 55:8}
We can trust the One that holds all the keys to our life in His very own nail-scarred hands. If He loves us enough to DIE for us, then certainly He loves us enough to care about each and every little thing going on in our lives. Don't let Satan fool you. Satan hisses in your ear that God doesn't hear you, that He doesn't care, that He has no significant plans for you, that you are worthless, or that you will always be alone. Tie Satan to the ground and don't let him hiss at you anymore.
This is where God met me yesterday evening ~
