God's Way

Let Go {Part 2}

You have went to the alter with it. You left it there. You let go. {Have you really?} You walk away.

Then something happens, it feels like it's going in the opposite direction of what you asked for.

You get scared, concerned. This isn't working the way you planned. This is not what you asked for.

This is going to mess things up completely. 

What happened? 

God, didn't you hear me, weren't you listening?

You feel yourself losing faith, the hope you had fading away.

Stop.

If you truly let go of it, you have to trust God and let Him work His plan - His Way.

It's like the curve in the road. You're heading north, yet as you turn into the bend you find yourself going south. Do you stop and turn around, or keep following the road. A curve to the left, then a curve to the right. Before you know it you are headed north again. You're out of the wood and into the prairies. You can see the horizon now, feel the sun on your shoulder. 

Sometimes we give it to God and we don't understand what happens next. So we bail. We snatch it back and try to do it our own way. What we want, never gets accomplished. 

You have to trust God, give it to Him and truly "Let Go". Let God have His way and follow His instruction. He will lead you to the right place. He will work it out, according to His Plan. 

Jeremiah 7:23 - Obey my voice, and I will be your God.

We can't see the future. We have to trust God and walk in the now. Don't worry about tomorrow, focus on today...

Proverbs 3:5-6     King James Version

5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Smoky Haze

 

There are so many fires in our state right now, that where I live it's been hazy for the last couple days and you can smell the fire. So many homes destroyed, lives turned upside down. As much as I love Eastern Washington, I've always been discouraged about living there because of the fires that happen every year. You would think by now that people would be more careful when camping. I know that is not the only cause of many, but it is the cause of some. It's sad, we used to be known as the evergreen state. Now we are more like the charcoal state. Pray for those that are now homeless, and those that have lost loved ones and livestock. Those of us with lung issues, struggling to breathe could use a mention in prayers as well. Not to mention all the men and woman risking their own lives and working out there to put the fires out and save what they can. 90 degree heat on top of it doesn't help. If we ever needed a good hard rain, it's now. 

 If you are a camper please remember to pour water over your firepit before you leave. Make sure your garbage is picked up and help preserve, what's left of our Great Pacific Northwest. 

Are you affected by wildfires?
