I love people. I love understanding people and why we do what we do. I believe understanding people helps one to love another the way they need love.
Something I have noticed about humans is we have this urge to be right and know the truth. We want to be trusted, we want to be heard, we want to be respected, but most of all we want to be right. There are billions of us here on this earth all wanting the same thing. How do we co-exist and make this work? How do we edify our brothers and sisters and value their thoughts and ideas, but not letting go of your own thoughts and ideas?
The answer is so simple it honestly seems wrong.
Lean on the Lord and trust Him with everything.
It’s that easy, but we as humans should get a gold medal for constantly complicating it.
The other day I heard someone say “When it comes to God’s character He’s predictable. When it comes to the way He does things He’s totally unpredictable.” To humans that first part makes sense, but then we get to that second part. We don’t like not having control.
That statement made me ask myself “Am I more worried about having control than trusting a loving, un-forsaking, trusting, gentle, all powerful God? If I am worried, why? When it comes down to it do I really trust God?”
To be honest, these are things I am still chewing on and asking the Father to show me, however it is something that has woken me up. Woken me up from the “normal” thought process of a human. It has ignited something in me to go against wanting to be “right” in my own way and trusting the Lord, even if it makes no sense.
I know my Heavenly Father’s character, but when the going gets tough will I actually and honestly trust Him?
