LET GOD CALL THE SHOTS

LET GOD CALL THE SHOTS
''Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain."

In the race of life the part of man is preparation, it is within the jurisdiction of God to determine the time for manifestation. Despite the planting of Paul and the watering of Apollos, it was God that gave the increase eventually. God always calls the shots in the game of life.

Life is like a game, a sport. Remember the writer of Hebrews says we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses. In other words, just as in a stadium we have fans and a cheering or mocking crowd in like manner in the race of a Christian we are surrounded by heroes of the  faith that have gone ahead of us.

Paul describes the Christian as an athlete. He said know ye not that they which run in a race run all but one receiveth the price, so RUN THAT YE MAY OBTAIN. Do you notice that on a race track all that the athletes have to do is to show up on the track for the event? No matter how skilled or swift the athlete is he has no business calling the shots. There is another whom they wait on, he fires the gun and at the sound of that gun they are off to the finish line.

WHAT'S THE WISDOM IN THIS?
God must be the one to call the shots in our lives. Telling us when to move and when to stop. He's supposed to be the pilot of our destinies, taking us to where he had ordained for us long before we were ever formed in our mother's womb. Romans says for as many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the Sons of God.
Do you also notice that when a runner moves, even by a nanosecond, before the gun is shot is fired, he is immediately disqualified from such a race. He took off before time. Whenever we take off on our own before God calls the shots we loose his backing and support and we run at the risk of jeopardizing our destinies and opportunities for greatness given to us by God.

Let God call the shots in your life. The Preacher tells us that he makes all things beautiful in his time.

Central Truth: Let God call the shots in your life. It would make all the difference.

FOCUS SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 9:23-27

PRAYER:
Lord, call the shots in my life, I don't want to be disqualified from the race of destiny in Jesus name. Amen
