Ever have one of those situations where you just want to leave it up to God but you don't know how much you should do? I know some of you are saying once it is in God's hands, I should leave it all alone and do nothing. Well in response to that I say God says He will take care of us and provide our every need. He tells us not to worry about our clothes, but if we don't reach out to put the clothes He has provided us with, we will walk around naked. Yes, God is in control of everything and yes, we can depend on Him for everything but He doesn't want us to be like little infants who He needs to feed and bathe.
I recently had a situation come up and I gave it all to God. At the time I was most concerned about it I read this illustration in a Max Lucado book about a fly in a plane. He pointed out that the fly is flying in the flying plane but it could just sit and relax and let the plane do all the flying. I shouldn't worry about trying to do all these things. God is in control and I should just let Him be in control. I remind myself a lot to not be the fly flying in the flying plane. That was ok, I could manage doing that because there never was an opportunity for me to try to fix the situation. Until now. There is ample opportunity for me but I don't know what to do now. I left it all to God so does that mean I should make myself unavailable and they would have to search me out for this situation to be fixed or has God made it so that I am available and should I let myself stay very available and then deal with the issue that arises when they don't even try to fix it even though I am right there?! God makes every answer available so that I might know what the best one for me is, however He does not always make it a black and white option. He gives us all situations that we need to think through and figure out what to do with what positions He has put us in. So as I go to refill my coffee cup I will be thinking of the pros and cons of the choice I have to make.
