TRUSTING GOD
Today's reading:  Ruth

"Now don't worry about a thing, my daughter, I will do what is necessary."  Ruth 3:11 NLT

 I needed to hear that spoken to my heart this morning.

You see, I've determined not to pull a Sarah/Hagar thing in regards to something I'm wanting to see God do--and it's killing me to keep my grubby hands off it!

I have so many ideas.  I have some free time.  I have a very imaginative mind.  I have friends who would/could/should help.  I like to think I have influence (I'm bossy).   I have a few days free on my planner.  I am thinking God's awfully busy and could stand for a gal like me to step in and get things done.

But it didn't work out so well for Sarah.  And it hasn't for me all the other times I've stepped in to try my hand at being God.

So I'll wait.

And while I wait, I'll trust that He has heard me.  I will leave it all up to Him.  I will remind myself that I needn't pick up the phone and get the ball rolling...He will do what is necessary.

And I am sure what He ends up doing will knock my socks off!
