“Let God be God.”
I heard this in church yesterday and it just stuck with me.
It’s such a simple phrase, yet so profound.
In hearing this phrase, I immediately think of the ways where I try to make God what I want Him to be.
My natural instinct is to try to make Him into this factory machine that gives me what I ask for and shows me what to do.
In doing this, I miss something very beautiful about God.
I completely diminish the fact that He is God and I am not.
Simple right? But profoundly beautiful.
And if He is God and I am not, I can find freedom in being in awe of who He is, not who I make Him out to be.
I can be still before Him, and let Him be who He says He is.
On this Monday morning, what ways do you struggle to let God be God?
Rest in the knowledge that He is who He says He is, and He is all we need.
And not just all we need, He is everything.
“Be still and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”
-Psalm 46:10 (ESV)
