Do
My Life!
…Jesus, Who is the Leader and Source of our faith… Hebrews
12:2 (AMP)
• Manage. . .
• Direct. . .
• Govern. . .
I loved spending mornings on my
patio watching how God synchronized nature’s goings-on so perfectly. It all started
early spring when gusts of wind knew the exact time to start blowing Maple tree
seeds around. The seeds’ aerodynamic casings were nothing less than ingenious.
It was as though each seed had its own private helicopter twirling it in the
wind.
Then
just like clockwork when the Maple trees were finished and the winds calmed
down, the Cottonwood trees started scattering their seeds. It was really
humorous when I saw a dab of cotton on each teeny-tiny seed so the wind could
gently transport it. God has a practical solution for every situation.
If God put that much thought into distributing
seeds,
what
more has the Great Creator done for us?
Putting our faith in God will unlock breathtaking possibilities.
God
is the Great Engineer Who programmed us with everything we need in order to
carry out the good plan He has for our lives. However, we do have to work the
plan. It won’t come by wishing and hoping. We shouldn’t be afraid if things
should go awry; being the great Engineer that He is, He covered all that when He
said that all things will work together for them that love God, to them who are
the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)
How much does our
freedom of choice alter God’s good plan?
Just asking.
Who
am I to try and plan my life without first consulting God? I can’t see but a
few feet in front of me; God sees all the way into eternity. I have only a shallow understanding of the moment I’m living in right
now. God knows my beginning and my end. I don’t know about the hidden agendas working
for me and those against me. God knows about those agendas and can interpret the
motives behind them. He will give me a plan of action.
Our body is an incredible piece of art. Each part performs a distinct function. God
knows its capabilities. He equipped it to achieve—like He did for those seeds.
I don’t want to miss the great things He has planned for me, and I know you don’t
want to miss it either.
Just to
be on the safe side, I wrote on an
index card: Do My Life. I taped the card onto a wall in my bedroom where I can
see it throughout the day as a reminder not to interfere, but cooperate! Let
God do—
Whatever!
