WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE?

Jeremiah 10:23

"I know, O Lord, that the way of man is not in himself, that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps." ESV

We all like being in control of our own lives. There is a lot of comfort in being able to plan out our comings and goings. But, we tend to forget that we are not really in control of anything about our lives. God is in control of all things. He allows us to choose our master. We choose to let Him be in control of our lives or we choose to let our sinful natures be in control of our lives. As Christians, we acknowledge that we were bought by the blood of Christ. He is in control of everything about us.

Heavenly Father, it is comforting to know that You are in control of our lives. We know You are leading us to Yourself. That is where we long to be. Help us to keep hearing Your voice and in obedience, following Your steps. In Jesus' name, Amen.

HUMAN GOD?

 

 

Colossians 2:9

 

"For in Him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily." ESV

 

How can God, the creator of all things, eternal and all powerful, be a man? How could there ever be a human man that is God? In His infinite majesty and most profound mystery, God became flesh and blood. Fully God, He left His throne on high and was born fully man in an animal stall on a dark, still night. Fully God and fully man, He came to show us how to live. What a joy that is for us!

 

Heavenly Father, we cannot fathom the great mystery of Your incarnation. We are in awe of such a God who would come to the people He created to save us and show us how to live. We praise You and magnify Your name forever and ever. In Christ's name, Amen.

TENATIVE PLANS

 

Proverbs 19:21

 

"Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand." ESV

 

It is a good feeling to have plans, dreams, and goals for our lives. However, we cannot forget that it is God who has already made plans for our lives. He will use our plans, or make alterations to our plans, or may totally disregard our plans. That is not a problems for those who have completely entrusted their lives to Him.

 

Heavenly Father, in our human nature we tend to make plans, appointments, and schedules. You know we are on enemy territory where distractions and busy lives keep us running to and fro. Help us to place all our plans into Your hands and wait with faith and anticipation for Your plan to unfold in our lives. We know You have wonderful things in store for us. We praise You and pray this in Jesus' name, Amen.

REFLECTIONS

Water is like a mirror. When you lean over water and look into it, you
see the exact image of your own face. The heart of man is also like a
mirror. When we look into the heart of others, we see in them both the
good and bad reflections of ourselves.

Read Proverbs 27:19

"As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man." (NIV)

"As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man." (KJV)
