management

how well do we manage? there are so many things to manage nowadays it is hard to keep track of them all. we have time, money, social lives, kids, or anything else that screams "manage me!" how easy it is to forget that somewhere in that long list God must be placed first. Now i'm not saying you can manage God. it is not possible, of course. however, you can manage everything around and involving Him. manage your time with God in mind, manage your social scene with God in mind... the list goes on. What changes when God enters the scene? Do these things become less or just as important?

how often we forget the majesty of GOD! i am guilty ten times over. God is the creator of the universe and manages it! He knows every finite detail that is happening by you, around you and far way from you. He manages it all yet, i can barely manage my time let alone my finances.

when God gives us something to nurture and take responsibility for He doesn't turn His back on that task because you have it. On the contrary, he teaches you to manage that task with you. if there is not enough for Him to look after, right? He is right there if we have a question. How compassionately patient of Him. God is BIGGER than all those things that plague our minds. does that mean they don't matter? absolutely not. that is not the point. God cares where you care. tell Him. speak to Him, and He will hear.

when we manage with GOD we see that everything falls into perspective. God knows your life and what you need at what time. trust Him and manage with Him. In some way, your load will loosen from your shoulders and your management will be more effective. remember this: we are MANAGERS of the things God entrusts (or bestows) on us. we are not the CEO because God is the source from which the waters flow. live by that and everything will work out in God's time.
