What if you had access to the smartest and most powerful person in the world to help you build your life, your business or your church, would you listen to them?

Of course you would. You may ask some questions and push back, but ultimately you would respect that persons knowledge and strength.  Most, if not all of your decisions would be based on that access.

Then why is it so difficult to let God lead? I mean he is the most powerful--the creator of the universe. He is the wisest--Paul says that "the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength" (1 Corinthians 1:25).

If this is true, and as a follower I believe it is, then why can't I let Him lead?

Think about this verse from Psalms 127:1:

     "Unless God builds the house, its builders labor in vain."

Get out of the way and let God lead. Let Him be the center of your family, your career or your church.

He has the greatest wisdom and the greatest strength. Only a foolish person would go it alone.
