Quite some time ago, Muffy shared an excerpt from "Intimacy With The Almighty" by Chuck Swindoll in an e-mail. At the time, she was struggling with something in her life and came across this word of truth during her devotional time.
I printed it out and refer to it often when I'm faced with a challenge that seems overwhelming to me. I wanted to share it with you so you could also benefit from it's message...
"I'm finally learning that His sovereign plan is the best plan. That whatever I entrust to Him, He can take care of better than I. That nothing under His control can ever be out of control (I LOVE that sentence!). That He is able to supply, to guide, to start, to stop, to sustain, to change, and to correct in His time and for His purposes. When I keep my hands out of things, His will is accomplished, His Name is exalted, and His glory is magnified. I am finally learning that surrendering to my sovereign Lord, leaving the details of my future in His hands, is the most responsible act of obedience that I can do. And, until I do it, becoming a deep person remains nothing more than a distant and pious dream."
Blessings on you all... my Groovy Sisters!
