Jesus, my perfect Judge.

Don't plead or appeal with man who has no real control over you. God always has the final word. Take your case up with Him who has ultimate control. This is why we are told " Do not worry about what you will eat or what you will wear." For our heavenly Father knows what we need! Striving to meet our own needs or desires, attaining that which we long for is futile if it is apart from His will for us. Sure, we can strive and work to achieve our deepest desires, but it will be a cheap imitation of the goodness God desires for us. If we settle for the short term, temporary satisfaction that "seems right" at the time, but fail to seek Gods will and direction, then our peace and joy will fade as quickly as the newness of our newly attained thing. God indeed does know what is best for us. What person loves the new car they purchased on credit when it's 10 years down the road? Of course not, they have already moved on to "better" cars, going deeper into debt. I'd rather place myself in the hands of the one who controls the wind and the rain. The One who paints the skies portrait every morning, and the One who places children in a womb. That is whom I run to when I have a thought, a desire or a need. And even more astounding is that before I even tell Him of my longings, He finishes my sentence for me. Yes, that is the One I will turn to. In my impatience I turn to mans solutions. In my ignorance I try to pull one over on the Living God. Claiming there's nothing wrong with my striving. No!!!! With Jesus the striving can cease! And when I quit my striving and grasping at straws to attain, accomplish or succeed in my own power, I see Him rend the Heavens and come down on my behalf. If God is for me, who then can be against me???? With Jesus I stand, with Jesus I rest. With Jesus I rest my case.
