Reliance on God

You know, God has an interesting way of coming through in the clutch for you. I have been praying for this situation for over a year. Finally, within the past month, I end up hitting what I thought was a single (a small victory in a long game)

Well, as time passes, I look back on that single, and think, "maybe this is actually a double."

Well, in the past week, since things have progressed so well, "maybe I have hit a triple or a home run". You see, when I was playing baseball as a kid, I never hit a home run. I was always a single-stretched-to-a-double kind of guy. or I could stretch a double into a triple. I never hit a home run. I was never a power hitter. I was consistent.

Well, now that I am looking at this, maybe this is what a home run feels like. If it is, I have struck gold.

I guess where the title comes into consideration is I dont know. I just dont know. All I can do is pray that Gods will be done. Mine hasn't worked out well, but since I have given this over to God, things have been amazing.

relying on God is very easy to say, but its very hard to do. I think its easier to rely on God when your life sucks. You have nothing else. But when life is good, I find that relying on God is awfully hard. "Things seem to be going so well, why do I need God?" But, this is a common mistake.

Proverbs 3:5-6 says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and he will make your paths straight".

See my interpretation above...


I tend to give God my little things, or my sadness. Not until the past couple of years, have I learned (I am still learning) how to give God the joy in my life.

Jeff Loven prayed something really cool last night. He thanked God for loaning us our talents. How cool is that. I have never heard that prayer before. But still, my talent (or happiness) is on loan from God. If everything, including our happiness, is Gods (our monies, our relationships, our hearts) why on earth wouldnt we give him our joy, and thank Him for what we have.


All this to say, I am getting on my soap box. Life is awesome, but some major decisions lay ahead, and I need to trust God for those decisions. He has nothing but the best for me, and I know that in my head, but I need to learn to give it up with my heart.

And that's the way the cookie crumbles
