But If Not...

As I sat this morning listening to Pastor John Hagee, he said something that really struck a place in me and that was, "Disappointment should not lead you to disbelief!"

Just because God does not do what you want Him to do, does not mean that He cannot do it.   Therefore, we must begin to say, "But if not..."  Lord I know that you can do this, but if not - I still trust you.  

Isaiah 55:8-9 (NLT)... “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.  For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

God is not bound to our limiting thoughts and He will accomplish His will as He sees fit.  

Remember, if God does not do something, it doesn't mean that He cannot - it means He has other plans.  

Jeremiah 29:11-13 (NLT)... 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. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

Disappointment should not lead you to disbelief!

Rejection is direction!

God's delays are not necessarily God's denials!

Let Go and Let God...

I've learned that some of the best things in life are not planned.  

That it only takes you stepping outside of you to get the blessing that was about to pass you by.  

That when you trust God for real and not just in words, He floods you with goodness beyond your greatest fantasy.  

That when you obey, even when it hurts, the greatness that follows erases the memories of the pain.  

I've learned that when we try to hold too tightly to the lives that are not ours, we miss the awesome plans that are His, and in return we could be left with misery.

So today, I leave this thought with you... LET GO AND LET GOD!
