LORD, what are You going to do?!

That's the question we should have been asking all along instead of "What am I going to do?!" When we ask ourselves what we are going to do, we fret and worry because there is only so much we can humanly do. We become frustrated, angry, and we become filled with alot of anxiety because we know we are very limited in what we can do. However, when we ask the LORD, "Father what are You going to do?", then we have removed ourselves from the equation and have moved on instead to trusting God. When we ask God what He is going to do in our situation (while we trust and obey Him, of course) we have taken our eyes off our limitations and impotence and have riveted them to His infinite capacity and omnipotence! That is why I heard on the radio today from Charles Stanley. I was thinking, "Alright we need to fold now...Lord, please help us to find an apartment, yadda yadda..."

Perhaps God has allowed us to fall into this seemingly impossible, heart-wrenching situation because He wants to show us what He can do if we just put our trust in Him. I have learned not to sneer at whom God may use. Often times we think that He would surround us with our family, friends, and others who we have an affinity for. But hey, He just might even use someone we don't even like!

Charles Stanley can explain it better than I can. LISTEN TO THIS: CLICK HERE.
