He Holds it All

by | Oct 16, 2017 | Life Advice | 3 comments

Let’s talk about life for a second. It happens in its own way, fashion and time… doesn’t it? Sure, we can make plans, but just as soon as we do things like sickness, break-ups, friendship troubles, family issues, and goodness, even unexpected bad weather get in the way. They slow us down. They remind us we’re not in control of what happens next.

Isn’t that interesting? At any given point in time, neither you or I can control the way things will play out. If we want truly want to live life to the fullest, we really only have one option – to stop trying so hard to do things on our own. We have to let God take control.

That’s where I get fussy. I mean it sounds easy enough to sit back and trust God. You know, to just have faith and know that He holds it all together. I know He does. He’s proven that to me time and time again, but somehow circumstances have a way of wiping that truth from my memory. I try to do things on my own – sometimes my attempts fail, and sometimes they actually succeed. But you know what’s crazy about that? Even when I do make stuff happen on my own, it doesn’t fulfill me. I’m left exhausted and wanting more. I end up back where I originally began – looking up, searching for some kind of guidance on what to do next.

Who else has been on this ferris wheel towards success? You know, where you keep going, going, going but never really end up anywhere? If you have found yourself there, let me encourage you that you’re NOT at the main attraction. God never intended for us to aimlessly live our lives running in circles. He has more for us than that, and I believe He’s waiting for us to jump out of our routines and allow Him to take over our schedules a bit.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” —Jeremiah 29:11

Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.” —Hebrews 11:1

I don’t know all that God has in store for my life (or yours) but I do know this much for sure – his plans are good. They give you a future and a hope. Have confidence in what you can’t see, knowing that your faith is in the One who sees it all. He is our assurance. He will never fail.

    Awesome post! ❤️ Everything you said was so true, thank you!

    Wow, thank you for this!!! I sometimes feel like I am running around aimlessly wondering what God has planned for me instead of just letting Him take the wheel and me trust that He’s doing so. After these realizations, I just sit and become consumed with God and ultimately get overwhelmed because He is so amazing in ALL THINGS. Such a sweet reminder. God bless you!
