We prefer that God choose for us
Charles SpurgeonOur enemies want to assign us a very dire portion, but we will not be delivered into their hands. The Lord will cause us to remain in our place, in our place assigned by His infinite wisdom. A mind wiser than ours fixes our destiny. The ordering of all things belongs to God, and we are glad that it is so; we prefer that God choose for us. If things could be our way, we wish all things were God's way.
Conscious of our own folly, we do not wish to rule our destinies. We feel safer and calmer when the Lord directs the course of our ship than if we could direct it ourselves according to our judgment. We joyfully place our painful present and our unknown future in the hands of our Father, our Savior, and our Comforter.
O my soul, on this day put all your desires at the feet of Jesus! If lately you have been somewhat wayward and stubborn, eager to be and to do what your own mind dictates, now discard your foolish ego, and put the reins in the hands of the Lord. Say: "He has to choose." If others dispute the sovereignty of the Lord, and glory in the free will of man, you answer them effectively: "He will choose for me." My freest decision is for Him to decide for me. As a free agent, I choose for Him to have all the decision.
