Let Him Lead

For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away. (1 Peter 1:24)
Flesh: the fragile, temporary things that will always change, wither and cannot last forever.
We grieve over the job we didn’t get, the house we can’t buy and the relationships that change.
God says these things are like grass, beautiful for a short season then gone.
He sees what we can’t see. This life is a mere breath or vapor compared to our eternity and is not worthy of grief or sorrow.
We have earthly minds which make it hard to grasp eternity.
God calls you into the depth of Him asking for childlike faith. Your earth life is only preparation for the eternal life.
I open my hands and release plans. I release expectations. I release agendas. I will consciously let you lead, God.
When I read this devotion it reminded me of something I just read. When you release expectations and let God lead, you are free to enjoy things for what they are instead of what you think they should be. Let go and let God.
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!
