It Can Be That Easy!

Feb 3:

I bought a new car yesterday. Actually it's an SUV. And it rocks. It's the car I've always wanted. It's blue, has 4 doors (well 5 if you include the trunk) and has 7 seats. It gets terrible gas mileage, but has a smooth ride and good speakers.

And it was so easy to buy. I found it, Allegacy negotiated the price (and got us a good one), gave us a lower percentage rate because they negotiated the price, I test drove it, liked it, they delivered it and I signed on the dotted line.

There is something so faulty in my thinking when I think: things can't be that easy. We think that when things are that easy something is wrong or some scam is being played. I think it's a disconnect between an earthly mind and a heavenly mind.

I'm not talking "ease" like life is easy, and nothing goes wrong. I'm talking favor. We walk around every day with a chip on our shoulders thinking, "no one can help me, because they might screw me." We trust no one. We take control ourselves. We hold the rose too tightly and get scarred by its thorns.

That's not Biblical... God wants us releasing control. He wants us to trust, even when we have no idea what's going on. He wants us to believe that He loves us so much that he would bestow massive amounts of favor upon us.

Do I believe that? I do now.
