How many times have we tried to fix something that can't be fixed. We come up with our own solutions only to create a greater problem. I've done it a hundred times trying to save money on my own car repairs. It usually ends up costing me more in the long run. If I'd just taken it to the expert in the first place, I would have saved myself and others a lot of grief, frustration and even time. You'd think I'd learn but I don't. Furthermore, I end up transferring the practice to other areas of life, including personal issues, relationships, church issues, etc. Instead of placing my trust in God's hands and letting Him deal with my issues, I take matters into my own hands. The results are inferior at best and more often than not, disastrous. Waiting on the Lord isn't easy, but the only way to live.
I wonder if God delayed giving Sarah and Abraham their son, Isaac, because of their actions or lack of faith. Could it be that God waits until we demonstrate faith before He fulfills His promise or takes action in our behalf?
God, I can stop myself from trying to fix things myself. I know I usually make things worse. Lord I give you my problems and my church and ask you to handle things your way and in your timing.
