Allowing God to Be God

Isaiah 55:8-9?(NIV?)
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Do you allow God to be God? You may have made a profession of faith and been baptized. You might now serve others and give generously to God’s Kingdom purposes. But do you allow God to be Lord over your life? It is easy to get frustrated with God when He doesn’t do what we want, when we want, and the way we want. But Scripture says God knows what is best. He has proven time and again that His thoughts and His ways are higher and better than any human thoughts, including yours and mine. So, let’s invite Him to be God over every area of our lives. Let’s invite Him to be God over our thoughts and our emotions. Let’s invite Him to be God over our relationships, our health, and our work. Whatever we are facing, God knows the details.

THINK ABOUT IT
Raise your hands and say, “Lord, You are welcome here. I need Your help, and I invite You into this situation."

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of life. You have called me out of darkness, into the Kingdom of Your Son. Jesus, I want You to be Lord of my entire life, and I choose to live for Your glory. May the thoughts of my heart and the words of my mouth be pleasing in Your sight. Open my eyes to see and my heart to understand how to honor and glorify You. In Your name, amen.
