Helping God

I'm sitting in the middle of the floor with my daughter folding clothes and stacking them neatly when she comes by sits down and unfolds each thing and sets it in a pile for me to refold. She isn't being mean, in fact, in her mind she is helping me by mimicking what she perceives to be my behavior.

Sometimes we see God doing a work and rather than let Him complete the work (because He will complete what He has set out to do Isaiah 55:11), He has started we began to assist Him by trying to mimic Him. The Bible says His ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8). As much as we want to be like God He does not require our assistance.

Thank God for His grace instead of chastising us for unfolding what He has folded He simply refolds. I think He may even smile at our desire to imitate Him.

Father,
Thank you for folding or preparing things in our lives whether it be finances, relationships, careers, or even families. Thank for your guidance and direction. We pray that you continue to use us and we trust that in your time your will, will be done. Amen
