Leave it in God's hands
That was the message i got from meetings yesterday and from reading this morning. This morning I just randomly picked up some notes to read and low and behold this was in them: Trust in the Lord, delight in the Lord, and commit thy way to the Lord. Then rest in the Lord. Just sit back with perfect confidence. That is what it means to rest in the Lord. You put your situation in His hands, you put your life in His hands, you put your cares in His hands, you turn the situation over to Him, and then you rest calmly, sit back and wait for Him to take over, because you have all the faith in the world that you do the right thing and the Lord will take over and do what you can’t do. Doing the right thing in this situation is to have the Faith that God will do what's best. I'm working REAL hard at leaving it in his hands. I struggle daily with my mind wandering to different solutions. I'll get everything on track and before I know it off my mind goes again. So the goal is to have that complete rest which means I'll have reached that complete trust and faith. What a wonderful thought that when we have that and leave it to him he'll take over and take care of the situation and do what's best for us. Really when all is said and done, I'm telling God I don't trust him completely when I'm trying to figure out what might have happened to/with Dave. Why does it have to be so hard to overcome the human nature? I feel like I DESERVE answers, the human nature response. The answer very well may be this is what needed to happen for me to grow, for Dave to eventually accept God. Looking back I can certainly see God's hand and yet it's still a struggle to let go even seeing that. This experience has sure shown me just how much I try to solve things under my own power. One more very valuable lesson is being learned. One that would have taken much longer for me to acknowledge if Dave hadn't disappeared. And I still miss the guy despite everything. I think it's harder to let go when you have lots and lots of good memories and very few bad ones.
