He's working it out.

So the message my pastor shared with us was God is in control. Now it was full of a lot of great points that were really helpful but I want to share what stood out to me the most. The portion of scripture he was in was Acts 10. As he read through verses 1-16 he made a point and said that God always works on both sides. In these scriptures we see that God gave a vision to Cornelius and he gave a vision to Peter aswell, but these weren't just two random visions at the same time they were two vision that happend at the same time to serve one purpose. We see here that God knew he had to speak to and prepare each one individually. Our pastor then went on to say that God always does that for us. That God is at work behind the scenes in our lives. He gave multiple examples of how God works like that. And he encouraged us that if we are in a difficult situation that God is working on all the behind the scenes things. He's doing this not because we deserve it but because he loves us and what I think is the most important thing is that he knows what's best for us. We just need to trust and know that God is working in our lives and he's dealing with and taking care of all the things we think he might be looking over. God hears our prayers and know exactly what we need we just need to be patient and have the faith to let him do what he does best.
I'm here to tell you that I struggle with this. My nature is to want to take control and make things happen. I see things in my life that I want to make happen and I don't understand why they can't or if they will ever happen but I have to let them go and believe what I've known all along. If your struggling in this area your not alone. I'm sure most of us are like this but the great thing is that we do have a God who is always there for us and is working things out for our benifit and his glory.
So my prayer for us today is that we put all our trust in God with all those things we are trying to make happen. I pray that we would find peace and security knowing that God is working everything out and is going before us to give us the desires of our hearts. I pray that we would have the strength to keep the faith during our struggles and uncertain times in our lives and let God be God and let him work everything out for us.
