April 23 ... Let Go

It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord

than to put confidence in man.

Psalm 118:8

If I try to help You out,

O God of my salvation,

Thinking I can plan the way

or cleverly manipulate...

May I heed Your warnings.

May I stop my schemings.

May I wait and follow You

with my whole heart!

Did King David run ahead

of what You'd planned to be?

Bathsheba was to be his wife

but not in David's way?

If he'd waited on the Lord,

Uriah would have died.

And David would have taken her

in holiness to be his bride?

O, may I never run ahead,

for You're my Lord and King.

And in Your wisdom, You alone

can plan the way for everything.
