Doing God's bidding

This commentary is titled "Doing God's Bidding." What does Doing God's bidding entail? It's simple. Anytime you try to alter God's intended purpose, you're trying to do God's bidding and you can't do that. Many times Christians (myself included) pray according to their selfish desires and not according to God's will. Yes, God wants us to present our requests but our prayers have to line up with his purpose. True, he will answer our prayers (that's good) but he usually answers in a way that's far better than we could ever imagine or he gives us a different answer. Whether we like the answer is irrelevant to God. Why do people try to alter God's plans & ways? Is it because deep down they don't trust him to have their best interest in mind? I think that's it because some people feel they know themselves better than God and by trying to alter his outcome, it gives them the upper hand. It may work for a moment, but in the end God will ALWAYS call the shots. It kills me when people try to argue with God, knowing they're not going to win. God calls the shots so people need to roll with it or get rolled over. Yes, we will never understand why he does what he does or allows what he does but ultimately, it's for our own good and most of all, HIS GLORY. I'm continually learning this lesson. The sooner people realize that God's in control, the better off most of us will be. Besides, when we try to do it on our own we usually foul up and God cleans up our mess.
