It got me thinking................... I could change the recipe to make it almost fat free. I would have to use fat free butter, fat free broth, low or fat free cheese. It would probably taste fair, but not the best. Okay, it would be terrible and flavorless! Most of the time when people try to make something fat free, it is so they can eat more of it without the guilt.
I would much rather make it with full tasting ingredients , eat a small amount, savor every small bite and be satisfied.
God has a plan already in place. It is the best!!
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.
When I try to change (fix) the plan in anyway, rush the process, or adapt it to my own way of thinking, then I find that I am not satisfied in my soul.
God never asked us to “fix” our circumstances. He wants to work them out for us..... if we entrust ourselves to Him.
He wants us to put our effort towards knowing Him, enjoying Him, seeing His goodness in all things. (yes, even the toughest things)
Stop trying to fix things; savor the goodness of God, one bite at a time: you will find that you will be satisified. You will have peace during “turmoil”.
God is good all the time. Look for it!
