Let Go!
God has a better plan than we do. We need to let go of ours so we can trust in His.
“difficulty comes in when we want to usurp the authority of the Holy Spirit for our own ends.”- Oswald Chambers
We must learn to hold things loosely, but we do give the enemy ground when we cling to things too tightly- he searches around for our vulnerabilities and then likes to exploit that if we’re clinging into anything too tightly, he has a way to exploit that .
I find that one way i allow this is when I am so worried about controlling my circumstances and getting God to bless my plan in my way even using manipulation in my thought process, which is so futile. We create anxiety that doesn’t need to exist. If instead, we trusted his plan his way and knew that it ultimately that was the best plan , then we can walk in present joy each, and every moment of our life, knowing that He is good, his character is good, even when our circumstances are not.
Whenever you obey God, His seal is always that of peace, the witness of an unfathomable peace, which is not natural, but the peace of Jesus. Whenever peace does not come, tarry till it does or find out the reason why it does not. If you are acting on an impulse, or from a sense of the heroic, the peace of Jesus will not witness; there is no simplicity or confidence in God, because the spirit of simplicity is born of the Holy Ghost, not of your decisions. Every decision brings a reaction of simplicity.
"My questions come whenever I cease to obey. When I have obeyed God, the problems never come between me and God, they come as probes to keep the mind awake and amazed at the revelation of God. Any problem that comes between God and myself springs out of disobedience; any problem, and there are many, that is alongside me while I obey God, increases my ecstatic delight, because I know that my Father knows, and I am going to watch and see how He unravels this thing."- Oswald Chambers
