I COMPLICATE GOD
when I strive to figure everything out that I can't figure out,
seeking an answer
yet never getting one because
I am looking within myself
when I am practicing
THE ANALYSIS OF PARALYSIS
I BELIEVE that once I have all of my answers,
then I will be able to PRESS FORWARD
beyond what I am trying to FIGURE out.
Hmm.
But GOD lets me do it.
HE watches me grow WEARY
as I strive to swim against the current,
when HE is my life boat.
I could easily jump into
HIS boat
and off we would go
IN PERFECT PEACE,
as
HIS SON take the oars
doing what I can never do on my own.
Yet I remain on dry ground
stuck in
THE ANALYSIS OF PARALYSIS,
trying to figure out what
GOD is doing
instead of
TRUSTING GOD
that HE is doing what is best for me
so that I
PRESS FORWARD
in
the STILLNESS of TRUST
instead of staying stuck
in
THE ANALYSIS OF PARALYSIS
that keeps me in the same place.
Why COMPLICATE GOD
when HE is the ONE who has
FIGURED it all out,
from way back in the
GARDEN
when
Adam & Eve
COMPLICATED their
PERFECT PARADISE LIVING
thinking that there was something
MORE than GOD.
It sounds so silly because
I BELIEVE I would have not listened to the crafty serpent
by not taking a bite of the apple,
but then again it is so much easier said than done
when you are faced with
BELIEVING what you
SEE
then
BELIEVING what you can't SEE.
Didn't PETER deny that he wouldn't deny JESUS
even though JESUS told him that he would?
Hmm.
For FAITH takes me beyond what
I strive to FIGURE out.
For FAITH is
BELIEVING that
JESUS IS THE ANSWER in ALL THINGS,
because
GOD FIGURED out all HIS CREATIONS.
I bet when Eve was grabbing for the apple
GOD was hoping that she wouldn't partake.
But HE gave her FREE WILL
But HE gives us FREE WILL,
to BELIEVE or not BELIEVE
by FAITH
all that we can't FIGURE out
yet strive to.
I raise my white flag.
I am FASTING from
THE ANALYSIS OF PARALYSIS
that is so full of PRIDE
as it leaves GOD out of the picture
making me my own GOD.
GOD IS GOD and HE has a way better grip of my life
than I can ever have
because HE is the one who gave me life.
So will you join me
and
FAST FROM THE ANALYSIS OF PARALYSIS
by
"HUMBLING yourselves under GOD’S mighty hand..." *
as you
BELIEVE
TRUST
and
KNOW
that GOD has everything FIGURED out already,
so that HE turns your world upside down~
"that HE may lift you up in due time" *(I Peter 5:6-7),
bringing you to the perfect space and place for where
HE has planned for you to be.
I am going back to the
simple
uncomplicated
TRUTH OF FAITH
and jumping into
GOD'S boat feet first~
ABIDING IN HIS SON
REMAINING IN HIS SON
with my feet firmly
PLANTED in HIS TRUTH
so that
I BLOOM
HIS PERFECT PEACE
that doesn't need
FIGURING OUT
because
I KNOW
"that in all things GOD works for the good of those who love HIM,
who have been called according to HIS purpose" (Romans 8:28).
And GOD means
ALL THINGS
"FOR THE GOOD"
