Walter said something pretty profound at dinner tonight.
Carrie was talking about wanting a baby in our family.
"I'll just tell God to give us a baby," she said.

I know what she meant, she meant she'd ask.

But Walter jumped right on that one.  "We can't tell God what to do....he's GOD."

And Walter goes on to explain that God certainly doesn't need us to tell Him what to do, that if we say "do this" instead of ASKING, it's trying to boss God around.

And, it hit me...how many times do we try to tell God that some other way, something else is better?  How many times do we try to convince God of something when we should really take the time and energy into listening to what God would have for us? 

There is NOTHING in this world that goes on without His authority.  He could stop it from happening.  We will never understand the mind of God.  How we forget that He is everywhere, knows everything and controls everything. 

And so instead of, "God, wouldn't it be better if..."
we say, "God, I don't understand, but Your will be done."

If could accept His authority for our lives, if we truly trusted Him, we would be completely different.  Our lives would be completely different.
