The other day at work (I work at a Christian rehab program for teens in crisis), one of the girls kept questioning the order I was having them do things in. I gave her a consequence for not submitting to her authority. Then she began to question the consequence and why I was frustrated. I am still new at this job and I realized that her behavior was making me feel insulted by her. She didn’t trust that I knew what I was doing, could get them where they were going on time, or that I had her best interest at heart. As I was explaining this to her to help her understand that her behavior was insulting and that I really did know what I was doing, I began to realize tht in thes very same way I have been insulting God. I have been questioning everything that has been happening in my life. I have not been trusting that He will take care of my needs. I have been getting worked up and not trusting that He knows what He is doing and has my best interest at heart. But He does!!! I need to submit to His authority, trust Him, and let Him guide me!!!!
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the god of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them. Romans 8:28
