Seeking God in Everything

Scripture Job 5:8 “But as for me, I would seek God, And to God I would commit my cause–

Observation: We always look everywhere else to find answers, we may turn to family, friends, our own wisdom, might even do research to find the answer, but we leave God out. We take the burden and try to live with it when all we have to do is lay it at the feet of Jesus. I’m not sure why we think we are smarter than God. God has created us and has a plan for our life and He knows all that we are going to be going through and why we are going through it. We need to make a decision, whether to trust God or ourselves, I choose God.

Application: I say I choose God, but most of the time I don’t. Patience has always been a problem for me I want an answer now and if I don’t hear from God right away I go out on my own. I need to have patience to wait on the Lord and faith that He will work in my best interest, even though to me it may not seem so. I need to stop taking these burdens upon myself, because I know I can’t handle them and not capable of dealing with them. I need to trust in the Lord with all of my might and lean not on my own understanding, but in all my ways acknowledge Him and he will make my paths straight.

Prayer: My Lord help me please. I’m at my wits end and feeling low about my life. I’m confused and worried and taking most of my time trying to figure out what to do. Please take this burden from me and take charge of your servant and rule in my life.
