For the past 4 weeks I have been on trial for the pastorship of a church who is in need of a pastor. It's very interesting, there are so many questions on both sides of the equation. I had started Truth Ministries and felt that I was following God's leading and then Freedom popped into the picture. I talked with some, prayed a whole lot and felt like this was the direction God was leading me. Because in the end all that matters is God's will. All the other things will fall into place. From time to time I hear things, from gossipping to questioning my abilities that disturb me. My human nature wants to call those people and talk with them and fix things, but after much prayer I decided to put those things in God's hands.
Psalm 46:10 tells us to "be still and know that I am God." That is exactly how Tara and I have decided to handle these things that are causing me to wonder. Just sit back, do all that I am called to do, and let God have it. Some times we work ourselved into complete burn out or exhaustion and then turn it over to God. This time we have chosen to give it to Him earlier.
I would advise anyone who is struggling with any portion of life, or any thing at all to hand it over to God and know that He loves you and more importantly, He is in control. It is truly out of our hands. Life itself seems to be under our control, but it isn't. When driving we are only in control of our own car, not anyone else's. That control can be lost at any time due to brake failure or a blown tire or something else bad.
God is in control and we need to start every morning acknowledging that to be able to face the day.
Thanks for reading and have a wonderful Wednesday!
