One day at a time

One day at a time is a hard saying. It takes a lot of strength to go through with it. Strength that we just don't have. Instead of turning to God, we a lot of times turn to ourselves, our friends, our leaders. Don't get me wrong, talking to other people can be helpful, but they can't reveal the plan for your life or direct your every right move. They cannot give you the strength that you so desperately need. When you are feeling weak, you must turn to the Creator of the world. Our Savior, Jesus Christ. Sometimes the days seem to get harder, sometimes better. I struggle with my thoughts, my doubts, my wants, my prayers even. I cry out to God, thinking, WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE SOMETHING YET? His gentle way just wants me to be patient. If I could just wait, my life would be so much more peaceful. Yet our human nature wants control. Here, there, now, later we say to God. Do we really think that the one who designed our complex beings and formed the world can't even direct the paths of our lives? Do we say, no God, not Your will be done, not Your way in my life? If we say we want God to change us, do we really mean it? If we do, we must show it in our attitude and behavior, especially when no one is around. We must learn discipline, trust, and patience. We must learn to run to the arms of the One who yearns for us! Instead of yearning for something of this world, can we yearn for God's path? Instead of putting all our faith and trust in a person who will fail us, why don't we put all of our faith and trust into the One who NEVER fails?? NEVER. Take a deep breath and take that in. Never is a pretty big word. How are we even going to comprehend FOREVER we will be with God, and ALWAYS that He loves us, if we can't even trust and understand that God will NEVER fail us. I'm just another person of this world, but I believe God has a specific and wonderful purpose for my life. I fail, I try to direct my own life. NEVER again do I want to stray from God's way. But it will happen. Someday, somehow. But if I trust Him to keep working with me, I have blessed assurance, Jesus IS mine :) God bless you all this Thanksgiving..
