“Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. Faith is the belief that God will do what is right.” I got that from Max Lucado but I wish it were my original thought. I like that so much, especially the built in conviction that God’s intentions and actions trump mine in wonder and splendor and have the right effect. I can’t compete. I won’t compete. I will try to accept that what falls my way through God’s sovereignty is right and is best. Yet I know I will struggle often to want my wants. Do you do that too?

I am getting better. I used to struggle more thinking that my faith journey with God has made me too passive and laid back and that I should be “doing” more instead of trying to get in the flow with God. Sort of a “Type A” personality complication. But I am learning through experience and example that God can be trusted to do what is right, and that my “ground level” view of things has its limitations. Lots of them. I am relaxing in the knowledge that God does what is right, and that He is good. That makes the relaxing a bit easier.
