I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain. Galations 2:21
This is today's scripture in my daily devotional (The Confident Women Devotional)Joyce Meyer.
She discovered years ago that every time she became frustrated it was because she was trying to do something herself, in her own strength, instead of putting her faith in God and receiving His grace (help). If I had a dime everytime I too said this! I always try to do everything myself, change myself, my family, my situation, my finances, whatever....and often am frustrated because things are not turning out like I want or expect, not my results. After struggling and struggling on my own, I finally give it to Him and only then do I see the results and and become free of the craziness of trying to do it all by myself. Why do I not just give it to Him in the first place? Thank goodness God is so patient. I'd like to say I'm learning, but daily I still try to do it myself. At least I have the wisdom now to know that nothing is done without Him, He is in charge. So give it up people, you can't go it alone, don't even try. Give it to Him, go to God in prayer and ask for help, for His blessing, His guidance, and then you will get answers, and peace.
