What’s Best

What's Best By Diane Webb

Luke 8: 25—"And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! For he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him."

Worry and fear is a lack of faith. If God is in control of your life…if you have submitted yourself to him, what are you fearful of? Do you not believe that God is in charge of this world as well as the heavens? Don't you believe God has full authority and power over every living and non-living thing? Then where is the worry coming from? Believe in God who created this world and trust his will. It's not always apparent what the overall good is from any situation. Sometimes there is tragedy, injustice, pain, and suffering. As long as you have submitted to God and are obeying his will you know everything is part of his plan for your life. It is not always comfortable or pleasurable but ultimately if it's for God's kingdom and God's glory it will all make sense. What's best for God and God's kingdom is best for you and your family.

Dear heavenly father, thank you for all you have done in my life and are doing in my life. I pray, Lord, that you will keep me ever-mindful of your power and your will. Help me submit my life and my will to yours. Help me always do what's pleasing in your sight. I pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
