Out of Control...


....just for a moment.....until I remembered that God was still in control. I love it when he reels us back in.   As the story goes....this morning I went before the Lord and committed my "works" unto Him and my thoughts were established. ( Proverbs 16:3 )   Everything was going along wonderful and then suddenly it seemed to change.  There was a need that I knew needed met but I could not meet it.  God had me in a place where I needed to depend on Him to provide.  There was someone that was hurting and I could not physically help.  This so burdened my heart.  It breaks my heart to see others suffer and I realized that I felt like I was not in control of the situation, as if I needed to be :-)  I see my Heavenly Father smiling and saying.....good, now sit back and watch me supply that need.  They are my child and I care if they are hurting too and I want to care for them in this way.  If I did not remember that I had specifically committed my "works" until the Lord when my thoughts began to slide I think I would have taken my day back into "my control."   However, God, in His mercy reminded me of the very prayer I had prayed and then before I could step out on my own provided the need.  Gotta just love it. Trusting God moment by moment is such an awesome place to be.
