Your not the Man

From the scripture read in Numbers chapter 1. The script of life has already been written for me. I am not the main character in the story. Jesus is the main character. I do not need to rewrite the script of my life. One of the greatest lies of Satan tries to convince me that I need to write my script. What happens to me when I do this is a lot of times,someone else does the writing. Satan has a need to rewrite my script because God's script is the perfect story for my life. My story is always being hijacked by an enemy who wants to write a depressing ending to the story. All through the Bible we find that God lead his people through their story of life. Sometimes people strayed from their script for their life and needed correcting. Peter chopped off an ear, to change the outcome of Jesus' script. Jesus said "don't do that Peter", and put the ear back on. Changing the script of peter's story and following through on his script, stopped Satan from changing the outcome. I need to realize that Jesus knows who I really am, not who I think I am. I am free from the "work" of writing my story. It is up to me to start living my script, which is to glorify God! I do not get to choose my script. The story of my life isn't cheaply created. The story of my life is mastered by my creator who knows what is best for my life. I do not get to avoid trials and temptations, because they will come. I can prepare for what life throws at me, because I believe God has the perfect ending to my story. If I look to Christ, my Savior,and give up my desire to live and write my own script, he will straighten my path. I am not the director. I am just a reflector so his light can shine back on Him. His word will be a lamp to my feet. Stop being the director and be a Reflector!
