True Success comes from the Lord!
Put God in charge of your work, then what you’ve planned will take place. (Proverbs 16:3) MSG
Do you ever try hard at something and work your little tail off to find out there was an easier way, better, and or more efficient way or end result. Many times I struggle with submitting to the Lord my plans. I start off thinking about what I am going to do, sometimes formulate a plan in my head then give it my best shot, some times I skip the planning part and go straight for the give it my best shot. It never fails I learn a lot while giving it my best shot but many time I feel I the strive to accomplish something that I thought was necessary, cool, or important. It wasn’t necessarily top priority to God, do you ever get consumed with a task even if it is something simple.
Next thing you know your on to the next thing, then on to the next thing; without even thinking of God or really acknowledging your Creator and asking him what the best way or thing that should be done is. Like right now… I must be real in this moment…I am thanking God that he has revealed to me this truth that he wants me to succeed, but his plan has the right, best, and most fulfilling outcome. I am aware of his presence even as I write and it is so much better when I remember he is here even now, I can actually feel Him and sense Him near me. Not in the way you sense someone is near the is walking by, a more intimate near, an in my heart type of near, which overflows and I feel it in my mind and in my body, and sense it in my surroundings.
I am so thankful that my creator is so personal, he knows me by name, he has made plans to give me a hope and a future, plans to prosper me. He has prepared good things for me to do today and forever. He IS taking care of me and He IS near to me… and I hope that you are experiencing his nearness too right now ( :
Lord thank you so much that you have given me the gift of your self, as a Father, as your son Jesus, and as the Holy spirit. I know I make my own plans but I really want to stop because your plans are so awesome because your love for me is immeasurable. Thank you so much what a blessings It is to have you as my Father, my Friend, and my Counselor. I love you, your son, richard.
