God knows what to do

My friend sent me this in the mail today.....I had the need to share it with everyone.

How Do I Get God To Do What I Want?

Sorry, you have it backward. God is trying to get you to dowhat He wants, because His way is perfect, and yours isobviously not.

PSALM 18:30 NKJ30 As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

You don't need to get God to do anything. God knows what to do.You are the one who does not know what to do.

Imagine a two year old child telling his parents what theyshould be doing. It is even more crazy to think we know morethan God about what is best for us, and that we need to tell Him what to do.

This attitude indicates immaturity.

If we were so good at figuring out things, we should be runningthe universe instead of God. But look at what our decisionshave produced -- a mess. What we need is new management, notjust to get God to do something for us.

Even if we were to get God to do what we think He should do forus, would it really fix our life?

For example, many people think getting a lot of money wouldsolve every problem, but the facts show differently. Just lookat the record of people who won the lottery. Some people thinkgetting a spouse would fix everything, but don't think abouthow half the people who do get married then seek a divorce.

What you need is to let Jesus be Lord of your life. You need tolearn of Him and follow His directions. You need to learn Hisways. Your ways have gotten you in a mess. You need to changeyour ways so you can have a change in your life.

God has already done what He needs to do. Now we must learn howto receive His provision and walk in victory.

If you are on the road to destruction, why should God give youa new car and gas money to go down that road? Your decisionshave produced wrecks in your life. What you need is a newdriver. Let Jesus take the wheel.

You don't need to argue with Jesus or tell Him what to do. Youjust need to trust Him.

God knows more than you do, and loves you more than you loveyourself. He desires the best for you. You can trust someonelike that!

SAY THIS: Lord Jesus I trust You. Please take over managementof my life
