We had been trying to get satellite TV for five years. Several
knowledgeable people had spent much time seeking to locate the signal
for our dish but failure always ensued. We even decided to move the dish
and purchased a large pole, planting it in a new location hoping this
would work, but alas still no signal.
Finally my daughter and I
decided to call it quits. We would live without TV, so we cancelled our
satellite account. The very next day however a satellite installer came
to town to do work for a large organization and someone mentioned our
problem to him. After finishing the original work order he asked for
directions and showed up at our place where he and his partner pulled
their ladder off the truck and within minutes of his climbing up to the
dish he locked onto the satellite signal without any problem. I couldn't
believe it. I asked him why he had been able to do this when so many
others had failed. His reply was that he was the expert, the best in his
field.
As I pondered his reply and the success he had so quickly
achieved I couldn`t help but think of today`s scripture verse:
"Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."
God is the expert of experts. He is the best in His field as Father,
Creator, Lord, King, Saviour, Friend Judge, Counselor and God above all
gods. Thus it only stands to reason that indeed when we do commit our
plans to Him, really commit them to Him, by means of asking His advice
and guidance and then following it and not just dictating what we think
we want or should have, they will succeed.
Today, tomorrow or the
next day we may be sure that major decisions and or problems shall come
our way, but let us be of good cheer and remember to commit them to the
expert of experts and then to rest in the knowledge that He is able to
work things out just the way they`re meant to unfold.
Prayer:
Father God thank you that we can call upon your name through the power
of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Thank you that when we do truly
commit to You whatever we do that we can rest in the secure knowledge
that our plans will succeed according to your good and perfect will. In
Christ`s name we pray. Amen
