Proverbs 3:5-6 NCV
Trust the LORD with all your heart, and don’t depend on your own understanding.
Remember the LORD in all you do, and he will give you success.
Worry is a sin just like lying and stealing. Worry, as I always say is paying interest on borrowed troubles that may never happen. It’s like telling God that He’s not able to handle your situation, whatever it may be.
But if you trust God with your salvation, why do you find it difficult to trust Him with your everyday needs?
We must have faith in God and not in our thinking or reasoning and understanding. People who think through everything have difficulty with faith because reasoning is not faith, and without faith, it’s impossible to please God as stated in Hebrews 11:6.
How often do we commit our issues to the Lord yet fail to trust Him to handle them, then we go right back to pick up the issues again and try our hands at solving them? We start panic praying when we mess things up. The choice is ours to let go and let God.
Do you want to trust your life to God or keep it yourself?
Make the choice to trust God today by letting go of all the things you’ve been holding onto.
All the things holding you down and bound.
Believers are the most blessed people on the planet. We pray to the God who is also our Heavenly Father. He loves us so much that He won’t withhold any good thing from us according to Psalm 84:11, just as he didn’t withhold his only son.
If you have ever driven a car that has a perfect cruise control system, you’ll find it difficult to use the built-in cruise system, if you have been used to driving all your life with total control of the vehicle.
If you decide to use the complete function of the cruise control, the car will drive itself, turn on curves by itself and go around circles on its own without your input.
But you must trust the technology of the car enough to be able to do that. If not, you will see yourself involuntarily reaching out and grabbing the steering and overriding the control system.
The same applies to our lives concerning trusting God in our daily walk with Him.
You must let go of the steering wheel of your life and let God take control so that He can drive you in the path of safety in the direction He mapped out for you.
Remember, only one person can drive a car. In the same way, only one driver can handle the steering of your life at a time.
It is either God driving, or you driving you.
Both of you cannot drive at the same time.
Unfortunately, many people prefer being behind the wheel themselves to letting God drive them.
During times of uncertainties and setbacks, it is easier to worry than to relax. But be encouraged to relax and allow God to take control of your now and your future.
Right now, commit your challenges and circumstances to the Lord. Leave it there and don’t go back to pick it up. Take your hands off and let go of the wheels of your life and let God drive. He can do a better job of it than you can.
Let go and let God.
Shalom
