God is Working
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28
Feeling relaxed is wonderful, while being nervous and worried aren’t so wonderful. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that a good many people today are uptight. They simply don’t know how to relax, and quite often it’s because they’re trying to carry their own burdens. They’re spending much of their time trying to fix what’s broken, make major decisions, and basically take control of their lives. Even believers will acknowledge that God is in the driver’s seat of their lives, while all the time keeping one hand on the steering wheel. What they’re missing is the understanding that relaxation and peace are impossible without trust. If you’ve been trying to fix the things in your life that are broken, make decisions based on your own knowledge, or be in complete control of your own life, you’ve been wasting your time. You can get frustrated, angry and upset, or you can say, “God’s timing is perfect, He sees the entire problem from beginning to end, and I’m going to let go and trust Him to bring me through this.” When you do, you will know what peace and true relaxation really is. As long as we keep believing, God keeps working.
