Let The Lord Lead You

"The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will." Proverbs 21:1

We all know someone who has to be in charge all the time. No matter what it is they need to be in charge, and if they are not in charge, they have a problem with how things work out. Many times, we want to take charge of the direction our lives take, rather we go this way or that way, we want to be in charge. The truth of the matter is we are not in charge of our own lives, nor should we want to be, The Lord is directing our lives. The Scripture reminds us that the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord, and just like a river the Lord directs which way it should go. I encourage you today to allow The Lord to direct you’re the path of your life. You have made some bad decisions in life and now allow The Lord to turn your life the way He wants it to go. When you allow The Lord to be in charge, He will carry you through every up and down you go through. When you allow The Lord to be in control no matter where you are, you do not have to worry because you know who is guiding your life. Just like the rivers that twists and turns at The Lord’s will, The Lord will lead you through the twists and turns of life to the place He has prepared just for you. When you are in control you can only guess how things will work out, but when you allow God to be in control, He already knows how they will work out in your favor. I place my heart in The Lord's hand knowing He will lead me to the place He has for me. Since The Lord is in complete control of my life, I have no doubt, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord, thank you for taking control of my life. I know that you will lead and guide me to the places that you have for me because I have placed my heart in your hand, and just like you control the rivers direction, you control the direction of my life. Thank you Lord for leading me to my blessings. Thank you Lord for always being there for me. I love uyou Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
