Scripture:

Job 38:2

Who is this that obscures my plans with words without knowledge?

"His Way is Better"

As the Father of 3 Beautiful Children and 9 Grandchildren, I know a little about them. One of the funny phenomena is when they are young, mom and dad are the smartest people in the room, they are the source of wisdom, but somewhere around 12-13, you somehow lose your brain, or at least they think you do. Somehow, they become the smartest people in the room, knowing better than you; they take their lives into their own hands.  When I read these words, I am reminded of how life without Christ is taking my life, my future, into my own hands, and when I gave my life to Christ is about slowly giving it back... let that sink in...  What I discovered is His way is better, He knows, and I should trust Him.

Simple or not so simple: "His way is Better."   

I should give in to the process of giving my life over to His control, His care, I should seek His wisdom not my own, I should follow His path, pursue His purpose in my life.   Because He knit me together, He put the stars in place, He breathed life into all that we see and experience, and "His way is better."

Lord, let us all surrender to the process of giving our lives back to you, to your care and control, to your purpose and plan. May we find strength, and peace, and joy, and most importantly, life and life more abundant, in Jesus' name, Amen!
