God vs. Your Ego

Do you have a big ego??

Be honest. 😉

I’ll admit, at times I can definitely have one.

But, I mean really who doesn’t? We’ve all had a time or two when we want situations to go our way. It’s either our way or no way at all.

Can I get an amen??

But what happens when our situations don’t turn out the way we plan them? We put a lot of effort in them only to see them fail. Worst thing is we blame God for our mishaps.

It has taken me a minute, but I’ve finally come to the realization of who’s truly in charge of our plans.

When you think about it, who’s really making the load heavy? Is it God or your ego?

Well my friends I’m here to tell you that God is in charge of it all. We might make plans or come up with a list of things we want to take place in our lives, but unless it is Godly driven it’s not going to happen.

By crying out to the Lord and giving Him your heart’s desire YOU WILL SUCCEED — but do know it more than likely won’t be on the time you have set on your Google calendar. It will be the time God has for you and trust God’s timing is the best, even though it doesn’t seem like it sometimes.

Every step and move you make God knows about it  and is aware of what you are trying to do. Remember, He created you so He knows what is best for you. This is exactly why He determines our steps to lead us in the right path. You might want to move forward, but maybe God wants you to stay were you are until He knows you are ready to proceed.

For example, after I graduated from college, I wanted to move to New York and start my career as a professional journalist. Instead, after college, I found myself back in Atlanta job hunting. Not much of a big break huh? But, was I worried? Not at all because I knew God had a plan solely for me. So instead of moping around I would get up every morning to seek, search and ask God what was next on my agenda. Before I knew it God moved and a plethora of blessing began to flow my way. From internships, interviews and a new job.

So my friends just remember that God is the decision maker in your life and He knows what’s best. You might have that professor who you just can’t stand, but you never know that professor could be the person you have to create a mutual relationship with because you need the “A” or “B” to graduate. You might be in a situation similar as mine and don’t know what to do, but hear me when I say give it to God and He’ll lead the way because He has a path set just for you.
