According To Who's Standards?

Last week a group of us listed some of the general things in life that we need prayer for. One of the things I listed was “control issues”. There was a lot of laughter after this request, but I felt it was important. We all have this issue right? . Mine just tends to complicate my life unnecessarily.

A couple of days later someone asked me how it was going with the “issue”. I said that it is still a work in progress but think it is going quite well. He asked according towho’s standards?  Ha ha!  Interesting question.

Someone I know was going through a tough time and didn’t feel that things were going to get better. Don’t we all feel like that sometimes? It is then that we must remember things will be ok even if it doesn’t seem like it at the moment. How can we know this?  The question made me think about the above statement. According to our own standards or ideas of what ok means we have no assurance that things will actually turn out the way we want them to. But according to God’s idea of what should happen in our lives, things will always turn out for the best. Will it be the easiest way? We don’t know the answer to that.  Will it be the best way? Most definitely!!  Rest assured knowing that God is in control.

He always wants to bless us and want what is best for us. After all we are His children and He loves us!!!
