Large & In Charge
My path has crossed people who in their own eyes were the leader of the free world. They know everything about anything. They have an arrogant attitude to go with all this “knowledge”. They are not fun to be around. My approach to people like that is to let them “blather on and on and on”. I can’t offer any content to the conversation because they will “one up” me with their own stories whether true or made up. I’m thankful that I don’t know lots of people like that and the ones I do know like that are not in my close circle of friends.
There is Someone Who knows it all. The Lord does know everything about anything. He is the Creator of all I see, hear and know. He has always existed. (That is hard for us humans to understand, because everything and everyone else we know had a beginning and an ending.) He needs nothing from me or anyone else for that matter. There is no one more powerful or more present then Him. Check this out….
24 ‘This is what the Lord says – your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the Lord, the Maker of all things, who stretches out the heavens, who spreads out the earth by myself, 25 who foils the signs of false prophets and makes fools of diviners, who overthrows the learning of the wise and turns it into nonsense, 26 who carries out the words of his servants and fulfills the predictions of his messengers, (Isaiah 44:24-26a NIV)
As I get my day started today, I’d be wise to remember that He is the Lord God and I am not. I try to remember each day that without Him I am nothing. With Him there is nothing or no one to fear. His Presence in me instills confidence. I am not “large and in charge” but He is.
Pressing On! Dwayne
