Let God be GOD. If your response is, ‘Of course!’ Don’t be too hasty. What does that mean to you? How are you allowing God to be GOD in your life? Does He have access to ALL parts in your life… and how – in what ways?
Letting God be God requires you (us) to be attentive to what He says, which means continually reading and studying the handbook (Bible) in order to know. It means spending time with Him in a continual dialogue and not just in stress or crisis situations.
Letting God be and do is not you doing nothing. This is not just giving up because you are involved: your decision, your responsibility to listen, your responsibility to act on what you believe how you are being directed. We have always been involved in relationship – it’s a two-way relationship. No condemnation or criticism. Just the question – do you let God be God?
Letting God be God, bottom line, means Trust. Do you trust God in all things regardless of what you see? His word tells us (Jeremiah 29:11) that He has a plan for our hope and future. It tells us (Romans 8:28) that all things work to the good. When you can’t find or see the hope, future, good… do you still walk in faith? Do you walk God being God… or do you try to help Him? If you are anything like me, there are times I try to help and typically muddy the water. As difficult as it seems, sometimes you really just have to quiet yourself and look for His hand in your situation. This way you can let God be God.
