Let God Lead Others
 

Let God Lead Others

Yes, let none who trust and wait hopefully and look for You be put to shame or be disappointed; let them be ashamed who forsake the right or deal treacherously without cause.
—Psalm 25:3

Our day might seem better if everyone would just do what we tell them to do. But God doesn’t override people’s will, and we are not to do so either. Instead of trying to control people, pray that God will lead them to do the right thing.

If someone persists in doing something his or her own way today, show your confidence in God by stepping aside. You may learn that you were wrong, or they may learn that you were right. God is big enough to get both you and them out of any mess they may make. Either way, He will get the glory, if you put your trust in Him.
