True or false? In your relationship with God answer these questions:
Do you dictate the terms of what is good or bad?
Do you dictate the terms of how you want to be loved?
Do you dictate the terms of what success is?
Do you dictate the terms of how you expect your life to turn out?
Do you determine what your God is to be like?
Do you determine what is a blessing or not?
Do you determine what you think you should have to make you happy?
Do you determine what you feel your fair share of this life should be?
Do you decide what is fair or not?
Do you determine what is truth or a lie?
Do you determine who you will love today?
Do you determine how much of your resources you will donate?
Do you determine what amount of love you are willing to show another person?
Do you choose how much of God you want each day?
Do you get to ignore all the truth about healthy living and expect to that you will never be ill?
Do you decide who is more important in a relationship?
Do you decide what is to be forgiven?
Once you have finished, add up all the “TRUES” and all the “FALSES”. Determine what the percent of the total for each one is. When done, ask yourself one more question. Who is in control of your life, you or God? What percent?
If God seeks total control of your life, what areas do you feel you need to surrender over to Him?
Lord, hear our prayer.
Psalms 139:23-24
23 Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
Just a Thought…
