LEAVE IT WITH GOD - February 17, 2022 - Max Lucado

Have you ever left an appliance at the repair shop? You took it to the specialist. You explained the problem and then…offered to stay and help him fix it? Hovered next to his workbench asking questions? Or threw a sleeping bag on the floor of the workshop so you could watch the repairman work?

If you did any of these things, you do not understand the relationship between client and repairman. Leave it with him to fix it. Our protocol with God is equally simple. Leave your problem with him. God does not need our assistance. When he is ready for us to reengage, he will let us know.

From Mike: I don't mess with the repairman because I trust Jay. He's very kind and patient but I'm afraid he might turn around, hand the me tools and say "fix it yourself". God certainly deserves more respect and is far wiser than either one of us.  

Jay is not even close to being God so why do I pester God when He's working on my problem? Mainly because of my impatience. "Fix it right now God!" I need to remember these passages:

Psalm 62:5 - For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.
