LIGHT FOR THE WAY

TOPIC: STAND ON GOD’S WORD, NOT ON THE WORLD
TEXT: "Don't
assume you know it all" (Proverbs 3:7)
One day a scientist
asked an old preacher, how come the version of creation defied all logic.
Smiling, he replied, 'The reason God came from nowhere is because there wasn't
anywhere for Him to come from.
And coming from nowhere He stood on nothing, for
there was nowhere for Him to stand. And standing on nothing He reached out
where there was nowhere to reach and caught something when there was nothing to
catch. Then He hung that something on nothing and told it to stay there, and
nobody said a word, because there wasn't anybody around to say anything. Then
God said to Himself 'That's good'.
As humans we have the
tendency to want to figure out everything in advance. But we are not as smart
as we think. Solomon said 'Don't assume that you know it all or you soon find
out the hard way that you don’t. A Christian Author writes: 'I...couldn't feel
at peace, unless i had everything figured out. I became anxious, restless,
nervous, worried and grouchy...similar to drug addicts who needs a fix, the
severity wasn't the same but the symptoms were. I was a Christian and
supposedly walked by faith...I trusted Jesus for salvation, but in other areas
I trusted myself. Does that sound familiar? Chronic worry shows you are
trusting in yourself more than God. And worry like any other sin, needs to be
dealt with.
Jeremiah said, 'Mere
mortals can't run their own lives...men and women don’t have what it takes (Jer
10:23TM). So stop trying to control every possible outcome. Life becomes more
peaceful when you decide to stand on God's word and trust Him, regardless of
the circumstances.
