| Have Your Own Way Lord |
|
| "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." ( Matthew 6:10 , NIV ) |
|
Have you had a tragedy that devastated your life and now you don't know what to do? I know how you must feel.
The greatest joy of my life was the mission work that I was doing in Kenya, East Africa from 1988 to 1996. On July 11, 1996, I was involved in an automobile accident in Kenya that left me a quadriplegic.
I have struggled almost three years trying to recover and find a new direction for my life. I pleaded with the Lord to let me walk again so I could return to Kenya. I eventually realized that I was telling the Lord how I wanted Him to work my life out. One day I asked, "Lord, what do you want me to do?" I now teach a weekly Bible study in my home, preach in area congregations, do some counseling and study the Bible with any of my nurses or therapists who will listen. I have baptized one nurse.
I am still finding my way as I deal with my handicap. However, my way became clearer the day I let the Lord have His way with me.
Don't try to solve your problem your way. Ask the Lord to have His way with you, then you will find your way in Him. |

Father, forgive me for wanting my own way. My life is completely in Your hands. Lead me in the direction that you want me to go and I will follow. In Jesus' name. Amen. - RILEY E. WALKER, Godfrey, Illinois |
