Peyton came home today and we were shopping for socks to wear with our clown costumes. As we were shopping she told me she went to a bible study last night and they discussed how God wanted to be involved in every aspect of our life, all of our decisions....whether big or small. Her example she gave me was about a lady trying to decide what color to paint her kitchen. It may seem silly to pray to God and ask him something so trivial compared to other things in life, but he wants us to come to him as our Father, our Best Friend. He cares about the things we care about. I picked up a pair of socks and Peyton jokingly asked "do you feel at peace with these socks?" (She's really not crazy). My answer was "no, I don't". This may sound ridiculous...but if we really think about it, why do we just go to him for big decisions? And an even more important question is, do we go to Him at all for any life decisions? Do we pray about our jobs? Do we pray about what He wants us to do in life? Do we pray about the person we or our children choose to marry? Do we pray when we go to make a decision to buy large purchases such as homes or vehicles? He knows what we need and cares about all of these things...even my pair of silly clown socks.
Philippians 4:7 says "And the Peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
This peace can only be found when we are truly in the center of God's perfect will for our lives. And the only way to be in His perfect will is to surrender our body, soul, spirit and our ENTIRE life into His perfect hands.
I can't wait to find my PERFECT clown socks!
