I apologize for the delay this week. So much has been changing and on my mind as I continue through the month of October. I find great comfort knowing God is in control of everything. Sometimes, though, it is hard to remember that our Savior holds the world. Sometimes, I want to be in control. I think my desire for control comes not from a false assumption that my plans are better than God’s plans, but the false assumption that my timing is better than God’s timing. I get stuck in the lie that I should be willing to sacrifice God’s perfect plan for my own, if I can have immediate satisfaction. This is not true! God’s plans are so much greater than my own! In those beautiful moments that I see why God did something the way he did, I am reminded that fighting this good fight is so worth my while. I want to be patient, because it is so much more satisfying and fulfilling than fighting on my own.
Rest in God’s timing this week. I promise he has a plan greater than you can imagine. I have seen little pieces of God’s plan for my life, and they always blow my mind! Trust God. He is still working!
