Have Your Way

Britt Nicole's new CD, The Lost Get Found, has some amazing songs. "Have Your Way" is one of them. I've had this CD for almost a month now and hadn't gotten the message of this particular song until today and it really hit home. It talks about when you're in a place in your life that seems to be going no where. You know that God is with you but you haven't seen or felt Him in a while. My favorite part chimes in with:

"But you promised you'd take care of me,

So I'll stop searching for the answers,

I'll stop praying for and asking,

I'll trust you, God, with where I am,

And believe you will have your way,

Just have your way"

This song has such a great message...especially where I am in my life right at this moment. I just need to stop doing things on my own, relying on myself, and trust that God's plan is so incredibly fitting for me. I have to believe that God has me right where I'm supposed to be. I just have to say, "Just have your way, Lord".

But, how hard is that! We are human beings, so imperfect, that we always want to have control over our lives and the things that happen to us. The kicker is that we have NO control whatsoever of our lives or what happens to us. None of us knows when we will breathe our last breath. But we aren't supposed to know that. Romans 8:18 says,

"I consider that our present sufferings

are not worth comparing with

the glory that will be revealed in us."

Also, Matthew 24:36 says,

"No one knows about that day or hour,

not even the angels in Heaven,

or the Son, but only the Father."

If God wanted me to know certain things, He would've told me already.

I still owe y'all that last chapter from the book...next time?
