Opinion, Totally Useless

My husband just came into my office to tell me that he had just read “The world is changed by your example, not your opinion.”  This just resonated with me!  Went even further in my thinking to having opinions of what is to come.  How ridiculous!  Then began thinking about often times I think I can handle things on my own and other times I need God.  Actually, I always need Him and have no regret of the past or fear of the future when I stay close to Him.

Psalm 37:3-6 states ” Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.  Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.  Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He  will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like thee noonday sun.”

It is so freeing to know my opinion is really not ever needed.

Governing the Universe

As I read my devotional this morning, complaining and criticizing was addressed as thinking we could run the universe better than God.  In pondering this, I realized that in my limited viewpoint where I cannot see the whole picture I may have entertained that thought unknowingly when I was wishing things to be different.  Humbly, I give gratitude that God is always in control and my human opinion matters not at all.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 reads “Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
