Sometimes we try to make things happen that are not meant to be in our hands. It would be foolish for a janitor to try to make the decisions of a CEO. It would be a bad situation if a waitress at a restaurant all of a sudden decided to whip up a five course meal, in place of the chef. We all have our own talents, our own responsibility, and our own role. Stepping outside of that and assuming responsibilities never meant for us can sometimes lead to disaster. It is always best to let God guide your footsteps. Isaiah 55:6-9 (NIV) reads, "Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God for he will freely pardon. '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."
God thinks and plans in a way that we could never understand. It is best to let him stay in control. Playing the position of obedience is not always easy, but that is the position that God intended for us to have. I challenge you to leave your biggest concerns in the hands of God. I challenge you to stop planning, stop compromising, and stop worrying about how it will turn out. Trust that God's thoughts and ways are higher than yours, and know that he is in control. He will restore you.
