“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So either the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.”
1 Corinthians 3: 6-7
Only God
Only God.
Only You, Lord.
Only God gives the growth.
I’d like to think I have some say, some sense of power.
My ego yearns to rule and direct my steps.
But I am only one small piece of the grand Divine puzzle.
You know Lord, at times I am relieved you are in charge, not me.
When I don’t fully understand tragedy.
When I am overwhelmed by daily hassles and inconveniences and realize how poorly I would cope with real life changing problems.
When I am tired and want to sleep or hide from the world for awhile or take the evening off watching Downton Abbey.
You remain awake, alert and available.
Thank you for being God.
Thank you for being in control.
Thank you, Lord.
Only you.
Only God gives the growth.
Only God.
Hi Jean! It really feels better to have a ‘right relationship’ with the Lord. When I put him first, and realize I can’t do as good a job as he can (imagine that!), I am way more peaceful.
It seems like I know a lot of people with health challenges, and it’s so sad. I don’t understand it, just like you said. I have to believe that there is some good going on, even if I can’t grasp it.
Have a peaceful day my friend,
Ceil
Hi Ceil. I too know many with health and life challenges right now. Sounds likes we both are carrying their burdens. Sometimes it is hard to understand.
