Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.

     Proverbs 3:5 has always been hard for me. To fully abandon my own self, put my trust in anything other than my abilities as a man. What is GOD thinking? But then again He is the God who made the universe and I have a hard time making a good cup of coffee. So what am I thinking?
     David said in Psalm 31:15(nlt) My future is in your hands. Your hands? Come on David don't you know how rough his hands are? But I know, I know his hands are rough but they also bare the scars of the nails that were put through them on Calvarys cross for my sins. My future, what does it hold? Is it only pain, suffering and lack? Is that all there ever will be? Or are your hands rough and calloused because you are constantly having to pull on the reins of my life, to try to get me going in your direction? Only a fool would say there is no God, But how foolish am I when I don't trust You. Am I not being the same as the fool who says there is no God.
     Ephesians 3:20-21(nlt) Now all glory to God, who is able through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitly more than what we might ask or think. Glory to Him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen! Galatians 6:9(nlt) So lets not get tired of doing good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up. Gods timing is Gods timing. If you don't like Gods timing, tough. You heard me, tough! We need to be patient or we will keep going in the same direction and that direction is your own. God takes that same hand, that same rough calloused hand, and opens doors for us to go through. But we aren't willing or ready when He opens them because we are to busy trying to open our own doors. When God opens a door it is full of blessing, opportunity, riches and glory. It is time to give up and let God have free rein in your life and trust Him all the way. We need to take our bridle we try to control God with off of Him and allow God to put that bridle on us allowing him to have full control.
