Doing

We all think that somehow we are in charge of our life. Really we are not. I have heard a quote that says "We are not doing anything, we are all being done." I love the quote because it reminds me that I am not really doing much of anything to have impact on my life, God is the one in control of life.

God knew what he was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son. The Son stands first in the line of humanity he restored. We see the original and intended shape of our lives there in him. After God made that decision of what his children should be like, he followed it up by calling people by name. After he called them by name, he set them on a solid basis with himself. And then, after getting them established, he stayed with them to the end, gloriously completing what he had begun.

Romans 8:29

God has already decided from the beginning what he was doing. God has started this whole thing and will bring it to completion in the way God wants. Allow this thought to calm you today. Remember that there is not much that you are doing to control your life. God loves you and is doing everything. We need to just relax in God's love. We do not need to worry about doing more and getting God to love us so God will enter our lives. God is already in our lives. God is already doing in our lives. Do we recognize it and accept is the real question. We fight so hard to say that God is not working in our lives, or we fight so hard to say that God has to work in our lives. Then we act like we have to work to make that happen, or we are powerless to have God come and help us. Neither are true. God is doing. Allow God to be doing. Relax and do what is place in front of you at each moment to do. Do not go about trying to solve the next moment, or the moments of tomorrow because then you don't allow God to be doing, and then you create worry and anxiety within yourself.

Think that things will work jut as they should. Think that God is already out ahead of you working things out to be as they should. Think about how you can relax and let go of your life and place it in the hands of the Creator of this massive universe. Practice confidence, patience, and faith. Let God do, let yourself be.
