Anything

Anything - what does that leave out? All things - what does that leave out? Anything means: any object, occurrence, or matter whatever, to any degree or extent; at all. All things means: Constituting, being, or representing the total extent or the whole. So what does that leave out? I mean I doubt things all the time because they do not turn out like I think they should. I worry about things because I think they should turn out differently. I forget so easily that God said that anything, all things, are possible:

God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!

Ephesians 3:20

Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.”

Matthew 19:26

Does this mean that God will do exactly what I want the way I want it? That everything will work out just the way I have planned it in my head? I do not think so. Whatever I am imagining, or guessing, or thinking of - God is thinking of something better! My human thoughts and wishes are powerless. I must learn to think like God thinks. How does God think? God thinks "how can I serve" and does not worry about what is in it for self. If I can just get that, if we can just get that, I believe that we will see what God can really do.

I know that things will not work out exactly like I think they should and this really should not be my focus. Since it will not always be "my way" I need to accept that and be happy and joyful no matter the moments circumstance. I need to allow God to do as God will and just be in the moments I can thinking like God thinks always asking the question, "how can I serve?" If I do this all those other things will be taken care of by the Creator in each moment who is DOING far more than I could ever dream or think of. God does not leave anything out.
