Uncertainty is something I strongly dislike. I always had a plan and my life is usually scheduled. Just like my fellow citizens, I planned for my retirement even before I had a job. All I dreamt of was a good salary, health insurance, and social security. By the age of 28 I would imagine myself owning a house, car and enough cash to get married and start a family. By the age of 30 I would imagine myself having 2 kids and working hard to give them a better life. The kids go to college and I get ready for retirement. I would see myself almost doing nothing more because I worked enough in the young age. That was the plan if I had been given the lead.
I submitted to the Leader of all leaders, the Almighty One who became the Captain of my life. But learning the lesson is hard and yielding to the new life is time consuming. I still do some things according to the old ways: think and act impulsively based on my worldly conduct. Sometimes the heart is not fully aware of the danger of these ways and it is so deceiving. I think it is easier for me to do things the old ways because it is familiar, comfortable and above all, I have the lead. I have control of the rein. Deep in my heart I know the truth but it takes great faith to depend on someone else to do “my own” things. Deep in my heart I know that He is in control but it is frightening to let go of the rein.
I was given all the time that I needed to be totally free: free from serving my own sinful desires and from the lies of the evil one. The Leader worked in my life and made all things work together for my advantage. He revealed to me that He cares for me. He led me besides the still water and his provision is much more than I expected. He did not only protect me but also showed me favor even in the eyes of my enemy. He made me whole when He put in my heart the desire to do His will. The Leader is opening more doors and soon I believe He is going to use me for His glory.
What more can I ask for! "Take the lead!!! Thank You for each step of Your perfect lead."
