Infinite Wisdom

My husband, most recently while riding in the car with my daughter, was sharing some nuggets of wisdom that made me pause to re-think. Her husband works for a banker's bank and has just recently been taken over by the FDIC. Al who work for this bank are waiting news from the corporate office about the fate of the bank and whether some private equity investors will be taking control soon. Of course everyone employed there at the bank have "the need to know" and this also includes my daughter and her husband.

"We all think we have the need to know the plans God has for us", my husband shared. "As I have grown older, I only realize how very little is in our control at all." God wants us to be in the place with Him that every outcome can bring glory to Him; where we cannot take any credit for what may come. That includes bad or good outcome. What a great God we serve in that He knows if we can take credit for success; we would take the awful burden of failure as well. I don't think in some of the ways we fail ourselves and others we love, we could stand that burden of disappointment. How humbling for me to depend totally on God and to let go of my control. What can we take into our own hands? Who that is created is greater than the Creator. Who is wise in all things concerning our ultimate well-being?
