Faithfulness

God is so faithful.

Have you ever thought about how God works? Nothing is by chance, things just don't fall into place, they are what they are because God is faithful to will and do His good pleasure. Stop doubting where you are and start standing firm in the place He has you. Start each moment with praise and thanksgiving. God I thank you for my wife, my husband, I thank you for the storm, it says praise Him in everything, not just the good, but the bad. In marriage we take a vow for better or worse, we are in it no matter what, praise Him for the hard times, because He is changing us from glory to glory. When we change our perspective from the bad to God, what a change it makes.

Yes, there are things that we don't understand and I can't and won't try to explain them, but Jesus is right there walking with us through them, I just think it is so easy to miss Him, because I focus on how I am feeling, my rights, my thoughts, me, me, me. But when we take me out of it what is left?

God brings people, things and situations into our life to teach us, to change us, but it is very hard to deal with some of those things, because I don't want to change, but God will continue to turn up the heat in my life in order to change me. He wants me to let go and trust Him completely, but man that is the hardest thing to do, I want to hold on. I have done this before and I know what pitfalls to miss, but God says that He can see it all and the only way for me to change is to let go, those are the hardest lessons, they hurt, the sting, but God is faithful through it all. He says He will never leave me or forsake me, He will guide me through the storm, I just have to allow Him to lead.

Do other people have trouble with allowing Him to be in control? Is that just a me problem?

You have heard me admit this before, I fail, I continue to get insecure and pick up the rope, grab the steering wheel and He corrects me every time. When times are easy it is easy to let go, but when the heat is on, I want to grab hold and He says do you trust ME???? I want to be the man He calls me to be, but man it is hard. No one said being a Christian would be easy, but GOD IS FAITHFUL!!!
