Yielding to God's Plan Over Our Own

I had a long conversation yesterday with an old friend that worked with me for years. She was telling me how her life has been, the way Gods led her and the unreal rough seasons she been through over the last decade with her cancer and now divorce. Well, you know where this went…You see, I choose to be a believer so that God could make miracles happen in my life. His undeserving forgiveness and eternal life. Every time I have tried and figure things out myself, I’ve failed. Oh, don’t get me wrong, my intentions were always good but my plan was mine. And in my unconscious attempt at rebellion of Gods will for me, I screw it up...true story. Some may call it being stubborn, over confident or wreck less. However you label it, it’s as if I somehow think that my 55 years on this earth and the “knowledge” I acquired trumps the creators knowledge of what is good for me. But you know what, it’s ok. Because I eventually know where to go, I eventually yield my problems to The Lord and he always gives me the answer I’m seeking. Sometimes the answer comes in the form of a different type of messenger, but it comes. Many times that answer is “No”. I'm comforted to know that God will get a message to me even in the midst of my rebellion to “do it my way” to lead to me out. “How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?”Romans 10:14 Be Nice. Grade Wins.
