1 Peter 5:6-7
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
There was once a monkey who really wanted a ball that was placed in a bottle. He stuck his hand inside and grabbed it only to find he then not get his hand out. He tugged and tugged but to no avail. He just couldn’t get out the coveted ball or his hand. Finally, he let go of the ball and as he slid his hand out the ball came tumbling out also.
Laugh if you will, but I often become that monkey. I want something and go after it with all my gusto! Then when the frustration sets in I just can’t figure out why I don’t have it the way I want it and NOW! When I let go and let God, things play out just like they should when they should. As a matter of fact, things tend to turn out even better than I ever expected.
Life won’t always be easy, but we can quit trying to have it our way. We can cast our frustrations and worry on God. Then let go and let God!
Help me Lord to remember to let go and let You take over. ~amen
