Being in put God's element
Have you ever thought to yourself, how in the world did I end up here and you have no idea why. Well I've been asking myself that for about the last 5 months and my first semester in college. How did a teenager like me end up here. I come from the exact opposite culture of what I have seen at my college. Let me tell you, it is nice to know that I was plucked from my element and put into God's element, outside of my comfort zone. God's comfort zone is the exact opposite of what we perceive to be our own. Our comfort zone is where we most feel comfortable and able to be who ourselves. God's comfort zone is the exact opposite. H:is is where you feel completely vulnerable and uncomfortable. You have no idea what to do and you ask yourself, why would God put me here. Well guess what? God knows where you belong and usually, it is the exact opposite of where we think belong. God has a tendency to completely change our plans and bring us back to where he knows we belong. We think we know it all, when in reality, we have no idea where we belong until we start to follow God's footsteps. God knows so much more than we do, but we are too selfish to listen to him. We get in the mindset that it is my way or the highway. Well let me tell you something, God's way is the high way. Not a literal high way, but the high way to take. His way always prevails over our way. It's so easy to say, no God my way is better and you have no idea what you are talking about. I can only imagine what God is saying when we tell him that. I picture him with the biggest smirk on his facing saying, okay you think you know it all, go ahead. Little do we know that God knows that eventually, we are going come crawling back to him saying okay God, I was wrong and you were right. I cannot imagine how many times God hears that in a day. It's like a broken record player that just keeps going and going and going. But, we serve the most loving and compassionate God that he takes us back in everytime we stray from his path. So do not be afraid to be plucked out of your element and put into God's because in the long run, he knows exactly what he is doing. Take his highway instead of your highway. On your highway, your going to end being the broken down car on the side of the road, but on his highway, you are going to be the car pulling over to help the broken down car!!!
