  • It's so much better to step back and let God lead.  Because later when you're able to look back and say, "The Lord has done this!"  it's so much better than looking back and thinking, "Well, yes, it came about because I planned those things and pulled some strings..."  There's an assurance there -- in knowing that it was God who led.  And that if God has led me thusfar, He will continue to lead me on.  There's also a chance to stand in awe and to worship the only One worthy of worship.  When we contrive and scheme, there's no room for us to recognize that God has demonstrated His great love toward us. 


    "...the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion.  For the Lord is a God of justice.  Blessed are all who wait for him!"  (Isa 30:18)


    "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." (Ps 27:14)
