Leave It Alone

If you are walking with Christ, and you are not satisfied with your circumstances (in whatever realms of life), more often than not you should 'leave it alone.' So often man tries to interfere with God's plan. "God has me pretty much on track, but let me help out by _______" is the way it plays out. Oh, man doesn't actually think that way in his head, but in his heart he does, and he tinkers with things.

But if we are indeed walking with Christ, He has everything -- every detail -- in control. We don't need to call around to see what's going to come down in the next big business meeting. We don't have to try to get Person A to tell Person B something that helps position us better. Etc. Etc.

If we walk with Him, carry ourselves in integrity, then He'll do far better at positioning us than we will do. He'll bring about the opportunities in His way, in His timing. In so doing, He'll save us from things we thought we should do that would only have been trouble, failure or major distraction, and align us exactly where we should be.

When you feel anxious, as if you should do something, check yourself; if you are not walking with Christ, the only thing you should do is get back in right relationship with Him. If you are walking with Christ, then leave it alone.
