Week 158: Suppose it Rains?



Suppose it Rains?

• Suppose this happens. . .
• Suppose that happens. . .
• What if, what if, what if. . .

A few years ago, God inspired me to plan this special event. After everything had been arranged: the date was set; the location was secured; the food had been ordered; the entertainment was booked; the guests had been invited—Oh no!
                         Suppose it rains?
If it had rained, the whole affair would have been ruined. All of my thorough planning would have been for naught. That’s when God put this in my spirit:
“You take care of the things that you can do; the weather is My business.”   
What a powerful principle to live your life by. Think of all the headaches you could avoid by staying out of God’s business. The devil knows when you do meaningless works of the flesh, or when you worry about things that you can’t do anything about; it rips your faith to shreds. Just do your part.

                                     Don’t go outside the margins!
Pay close attention when your mind is bombarded with: stress, confusion, aggravation, and worry. Those could be signs that you are trying to do something that you have no business doing.        
    Whirlwinds of frustration are blowing all kinds of red flags.
STOP—————pray for God to show you your place in the matter. Then, pray for God’s will to be done—and Mean It. Listen for God’s instructions—do the part that He wants you to do. Once you are doing your part, leave the rest to God.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)

In conclusion, when you find yourself thinking too hard, take an inventory of your thoughts and actions.
Is this something that I can do, or is this something that only God can do?
