8.6.11

Proverbs 20:24 The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?

My Thoughts

God sees the big picture and God sees the tiny details. God cares about each and every one of His children.  God provides us with the Holy Spirit who lives inside of us and directs our steps. Have you ever felt your gut arguing with your brain and your logic? Sure you have we all have. Sometimes what our gut is telling us isn't logical! But, when we think about doing what our gut says we feel at peace, then we think about doing what our mind says, what seems logical and we fell really uncomfortable.  The Holy Spirit works in our gut...in our center... the Holy Spirit gives us that feeling of peace when we do the right thing. The devil loves to use our logic against us.  We have to learn to trust God to understand that when God is in control we don't  have to know because God knows!  God sees the big picture and the tiny details.  I wonder how much we miss out on when we let logic override our gut? When the devil puts questions in our brain and we listen to the questions instead of listening to the Holy Spirit inside of us? The great thing about listening to God is that we don't have to know. We just have to listen to God, do what He prompts us to do and sit back and enjoy the journey. Will God ask us to do some hard things? Sure He will! But those hard things help us stretch and grown into better Children of God. The hard things make us strong!  The hard things prepare us. We don't have to understand everything along the way when we "let go and let God."
