There are times when we want to do things our own way because we feel
that the way of God is not happening the way that we want it. However, we
should not underplay the sovereignty of God. Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! "For who
has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has become His counselor?" "Or
who has first given to Him and it shall be repaid to him?" For of Him and
through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen (Romans
11:33-36).
A young man wanted to go for a job interview at all cost. he had to
go! he had stayed at home for ever and this was his chance to earn some money. He
was so excited for the D-day. Unfortunately, on the D-day his shoe couldn’t
fit. He tried and tried, his shoe couldn’t fit and that was the only shoe he
had. Oh! No! it was such a huge disappointment. Sadly, he couldn’t go. The next
day, he received the news that the company he was due to attend the interview had
an unfortunate disaster. The roof caved in and everybody who was there at the
time of the interview died. Sometimes, when things are not happening the way we
want it, he is preventing something disastrous from happening. He is saving our
lives!
Christianity is a lifestyle with Christ. Christianity is not a means
of achieving our bucket list and it is not a means of achieving our goal.
However, whatever you want you may ask God in prayer and he answers your prayer
according to his will (Philippians 4). When
one is a Christian, there is a need to be totally submissive to God for his
will to be done. We see things in a different way and we act accordingly but whatever
happens to you as a Christian, you keep on holding on to Christ and your faith
is built in Christ that whatever happens to you, God is good. He is the one
driving, not you. He sees the final picture that you don't see. God is sovereign;
allow his sovereignty over your life.
