Although we should always look forward in our lives, for just a moment I'd like you to look back over your life. Were there times when life was so hard that it almost seemed impossible and yet, as you look back now you see that you jumped that hurdle and moved forward? In Luke 18, the Bible tells us that the things that seem to be impossible with man, are possible with God. Just like these plants, the trees and the wildlife that find water in the desert, where at times it may seem impossible, if you take what God gives you and make the most of it, while praising Him, God will open the right doors for you. He will bring the people you need into your life and He will show you the path to move forward in the destiny He chose for you.
In a song I listen to often, it says "Life is hard - but God is good... In the silence of all that you face, God will give you His mercy and grace." One of the most difficult challenges we face in our lives is trusting others. Would you be able to trust one of your friends enough to let them control what happens in your life? Well, that is exactly what God is asking us to do and sometimes it is hard for us. However, we need to remind ourselves that God loves us more than we can imagine and He knows what we need before we do. He knows where our lives are going to take us and the best ways to get us there. So as we face difficult times and challenges in our lives, we need to turn to God and ask Him to take control - we need to allow Him to handle things for us and not worry or be anxious about the outcome. If we give control to God, the outcome will be better than we could have asked for. We need to decide not to live our lives by how we feel, but by what we know - that God is in control. Then we can live each day in God's peace.
