I ask a simple question, “ how do you see God?”

Do you look up to heaven and say , “ Lord these are the things I’m facing how are you going to make them work in my favor so that I can have peace in my life !”

Or do you say,” Lord I’m facing these things in my life… please strengthen me so I can make it through them, please continue to form me into the image of your Son who endured all things to set me free, so I might be His image to the world around me.”

The first one questions God’s sovereignty “how are you going to “ the second and latter one relies on God’s sovereignty… “ I trust Your ways are better than mine” so that we might be His witness to the world around us who does not know Him.

I know that there are times I am guilty of looking to God and saying,” fix what is broken around me!” Instead of asking of Him,” fix what’s broken within me and replace it with your love, your character and nature”
