Often life can get overwhelming. Especially when you’re on this walk of life with God and it feels as if everything is against you from moving forward.  

Sometimes as Christians we expect everything to work out in life exactly the way we planned because we have the God of creation on our side. 
Please don’t take this the wrong way. 
God is mighty and having Him beside us on this walk of life is critical. Jesus is our only hope. 

But what if God was to give us everything we ever wanted and everything we ever worked for? 

We can easily imagine that life. We would of learned nothing much, we wouldn’t be able to grow mentally, physically and spiritually. Life lessons will have been on an all time low. We wouldn’t have any insight or advice to pass on to future generations. We wouldn’t be able to inspire people, and demonstrate how incredibly strong our God is if we didn’t have any weaknesses. (2 Corinthians 12:9) And much more. 

God has planned out our destiny before we were even born. We might take paths in life that lead to a dead end because if we were to go down that route, we might miss the purpose God has placed within us. 

I love Peter 5:6. It says, “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:”

It’s encouraging us to continually humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God. Constantly submitting ourselves to Him. And when our knees are bowed in surrender, at the right time He will lift us up.
