The End Justifies the Means

The Good News Today Is...things can be redeemed. "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal them." 2Ch7:14 We are asked to behave so differently than how we think we should. Usually when we want something to change we set about doing a lot of tasks and bossing a lot of people around....it's called control. If we really want change and redemption we are to stop doing and start praying - humbly! Obviously this is harder for some of us than others. I can still remember being a child and stomping my foot saying, "I can do it myself." When I get that attitude now, I try to ask myself why I am trying so hard to fix or change something (or someone), then I take another look. It really is a whole lot easier just letting God handle it and the outcome is always so much better.
