God is God, I am Not


Theme: Hoping for a Miracle

“‘My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,’ says the LORD. ‘And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.’” (Isaiah 55:8 NLT)

So many times I accidentally trick myself into believing I know better than God. I want to figure out why I feel uncomfortable when all I really need to do is save my energy and rely on God. If I am where I am because I am doing my best and obeying God, then when things don't look so hot, I can count on God to fix it his way. My way is never good enough.

Prayer: God, help me to register you are God, and I am not.

Example: My plan was to study all day after surfing. God's plan was for me to not study today and hang out with my great friend Alyssa woot! Had to staple my head back together!
