We want the Lord to work in our lives and through us.  So why do we complain that things aren’t going as we think they should?  Rest in your faith.  Grow in your faith.  Allow God to work and do not consider that you know what should happen.  Does a ball complain that it isn’t rolling downhill fast enough?  Doesn’t gravity control it’s decent?  Does a bird complain that it doesn’t have enough feathers to fly higher?  Should we complain that our mouth isn’t large enough to consume the meals set before us?  Isn’t it foolish to say, “My feet can’t be used like my hands are.  And my hands aren’t able to support my body like my feet can.”

God has set His will in motion from ages past.  We are not the ones who direct Him.  It is the other way around.  Who knows better what is true, God or man?  So let us set aside all desires for manipulating the Lord God Most High.  Let us, instead, practise accepting what is upon us.  Let God be God.  And let us be His people.  It should be enough that He has had mercy on us.

By His Grace.
