Always work in excellence at what you believe in, but rest in the fact that God is in total control.
In today’s culture, it’s so easy to get caught up in your own strengths. What all you can do, what all you can become, how much you can take, what you’re able to possess, etc. It’s great to be driven, but it will cost you (negatively) to be self driven. See when you only focus on yourself, you make it impossible to see God. But, God has a funny way of getting your attention when needed, especially when things within your life doesn’t go the way you planned for it to go…when things start getting out of control.
Anything you cannot control is teaching you how to let go, and place into God’s hands. Remember, all that is above what you can do is God’s business, and all you need is faith to see it manifest within your life. Take your eyes off of only what you can do, and focus on all that God is able to do through you.
Proverbs 16:9 – A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.
