Today, I know how much about all of the above I did not know. Today, I know all of the above on a deeper level. Today, I grateful with every fiber of my being for the intimacy, love, presence, peace, covering, and guidance of my God. Today, I live with a trust I was ashamed to confess I lacked in the past. The "control freak" in me would often lack faith in God where my life was concerned... Even though I had enough faith in what He'd do for others. Today, I have come to know Him for the sovereign God that He Is.
I have come to appreciate the fact that He Is in control. Letting go of weight that wasn't mine to bear has been extremely freeing. I've even come to accept that He owes me no explanation... No answers... No reasons... Nothing. Why? Because He's God. All by Himself. Doesn't need my approval. Didn't ask for my help, or me to audition for the role of "Holy Spirit". I am willing to confess it's been a tough lesson to learn. A lesson I believe my father has been trying to get me to learn for some time. But, I think I got it now...
Let me tell you this... Life is much easier when you embrace the sovereignty of God. Not that there won't be challenges. I still face several. But I know it's not my job or place to figure it out, work it out... It's not my name on the line. It's not your name on the line... His Name, the Name above all names. And, He will see to it that His Will is accomplished. He will get all glory!
If you're, like me, a believer struggling with true surrender to the sovereignty of our Heavenly Father, allow me to encourage you... Spend some time with Him in fasting and prayer. Try Him. Taste Him. He wants to show you so many things, including how greatly He loves you. Let GoD. You won't regret it!
...In His Majesty's Name.
