We need God's help in this life. All of us. No one is exempt from this very fact. Now some choose to do things on their own and they are exercising their free will. But God has a plan for our lives and each of our days are ordained by Him and they are written in the book. If we drift off to do our own thing and make our own decisions without consulting God first than we may not be experiencing ALL He has for us. I think it is so sad for Him to watch us flounder on our own when He is so capable and excited to bless us with so much. I struggled one day in thought about someone close to me who is saved but their lives reflect such conflict and zero change. I asked the Lord why it was and He clearly spoke to my heart, "I want to bless this person immensely but they need to change their heart and mindset first". WOW! The sad reality is I shared this with the person and they chose to ignore God's message so it brought much sadness to me. This person who could be living such a blessed life instead is a shell of themselves because they chose to do it on their own instead of listening to God's words. I was never so at attention when He told me I was placing everyone before Him and if I didn't stop, He was going to take things away. I was so afraid of His wrath that I listened, obeyed and corrected myself and got back in His plan. And like my husband always says, "judge the tree by the fruit." So don't struggle on your own today. Life is too hard. Give it to God and allow Him to be your life coach. It will turn your life completely around. Have a blessed Tuesday!
Psalm 139:16
