Power

For some reason we just love power. Whatever type of power it is us, as humans, just want to have it and to be the more than anyone else. You want to rise in the ranks until you control the situation. You can't stand having someone else tell you how, or what to do. And really, if we are being truthful we do the same thing with our relationship with God.

Now you might be asking me how do we mix power in with our relationship with God? Well, it is simple. It's our own lives.

Think for a second. How many times has God asked you to do something and you decided to say "No, that is not for me" or "Nah, I think I will be fine if I stay where I am" or "I don't feel comfortable doing that" or "I am not good enough to do something like that"? I would guess a decent amount of times. Now at this point some of you are already knowing where I am going to go with this. That we want to have power over our own lives and that God should truly be the one in power. Like come on, God is never wrong. He did create you, so why should you think that you should be in control of your own lives. Yes, all that is true, and we should be doing those things, but I want to take it all in a different approch.

If you really think about it, we truly do want what God has in store for us. We have read so many stories of what God has done for people in the bible. God has provided in times of need and still does. God protected His children when they needed Him and still does. In our hearts we know that God has the best plan for us, and that we should follow all of His instructions to us. But then where does it all go wrong? Where do we hit the point that we consider our own plans compared to the one God has in store for us? Why can't we just get by the wall that makes us think that we know better and have a better grasp on our lives than God does?

I know I don't have all the answers to every single question and really I only know what I am told by God. And what I have for you all today is that one of the problems that stops us is our mind.

Our mind? How is our mind what is hindering us from doing what God wants us to do? Well, reflect for a moment. Go back to a time when God told you to do something and you decided to say "No, I'm good". Now why did you say that to God? Why did you think that you knew what was going on? Wait a second.... look back at the words: think and knew. Because we thought that we have everything in order. We like it where we are. People refer this to living in your comfort zone. You are comfortable where you are right now and with your walk with God. You are liking how everything is going. If you relationship with God is strong, or if there really isn't a relationship with God you like were you stand.

But stop thinking..... really stop thinking and listen to your heart. Because I bet you that your heart is telling you to get up. Get up and follow the path that God has set before you. It is right there, so take it. Stop thinking that you know what is going on, because that is what gets you in trouble.

Talk to God and listen what He has to say. Going back to two posts ago, it really is that easy to talk to God. There is no special hours that He will only be available. He is waiting for you to talk to Him and to stop thinking, and start going by what is in your heart. Does your heart really want you to do evil? No, your heart wants you to do what Jesus did. Because Jesus lives within your heart. He is always right there, and never lose sight of that. You are never alone, and will never go on this walk alone. Jesus is always right there to help you win the fight.

So go, Go walk the path that you were meant to walk. Go do what you were meant to do. And, never think that you know what is going on. Because we can never understand God. Even though God has, and is the same and will never change, we will still never be able to understand God fully. That is how amazing, and powerful God is. So if we can't understand, then don't try to. Don't think and go on the right path.
