Going to God first - not last

Here’s a thought for a Wednesday:

God is God and we are not.

Kind of profound, don't you think?  :)

Have you ever tried to counsel God?  Of course you have. 

Have you ever tried to give God advice?  For some of us, it is a weekly occurrence.

Depending upon our personality, we are all disposed to telling God what we are going to do – and then pray to get his “blessing”.

Someone once wrote:  “Do you want to make God laugh? Tell him your plans!”

Many times there is nothing wrong with our plans, except that they are not God’s plans.  God will have something bigger and better in mind.

This week I ran across a wonderful definition of faith.

I don’t know who said it, but it fits into what I am writing here, and applies to all of us who face desperate circumstances:

“Faith is confidence in God’s faithfulness to me in an uncertain world, on an uncharted course, through an unknown future.”

My thought and prayer for each one of us is that we will go to God first – and not last, when we are making a decision (no matter how big or how small).

Just a thought for a Wednesday.
