Day 58

Exodus 14:14 ~ “The Lord will fight for you, and all you have to do is keep still.” (GNT)

Sometimes we like to take matters into our own hands. We say we’re going to “give it to God”, but in all honesty, we don’t. A few years back when we were going through a rough time financially, I found myself trying to figure out how to make some extra money. I started out by looking through the classifieds trying to find a part time job. Then, once I realized that wasn’t going to work (two minutes later) I go and look at my 401k and see how much money I have available for withdrawal. Of course, that didn’t make any sense either. I was literally spinning my wheels trying to “help God” by attempting to get what we needed on my own. In some way or another, we’ve all been guilty of this. I want to remind you today that God DOES NOT need your help. Whatever your battle is, He’s fighting it for you, you just need to sit down somewhere and let Him do it! Whether it’s financial, spiritual, relational, or health related, He’s got it taken care of. When you try to help, you actually delay the process, and it tells God that you don’t trust Him to take care of you. He knows what’s best for you. Be still and let Him be God!
