You can’t tell me what to do…

I decided to take my laptop outside and enjoy the great weather today while working from home this afternoon. My 10 year old comes outside and the following conversation ensues:

Daughter: “Dad, we want to give the dogs a bath out here.”
Me: “Not right now, I am working and you’ll be too loud.”
Daughter: “IF you want to get out of the house, go sit in the garage. We need to bathe the dogs out here!”

I own this house on paper only…

Romans 11: 33-36 NASB

33 Oh, the depth of the riches [l]both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! 34 For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor? 35 Or who has first given to Him [m]that it might be paid back to him again? 36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory [n]forever. Amen.

How often do I interact with God the way my daughter did with me?  God created EVERYTHING, exististed before EXERYONE, yet in my extremely finite wisdom I find myself responding to him as if I know better than He.  I find myself telling Him “no, I’ll invest the money you’ve provided me this way” or “I know you said vengance is yours but I think I got a better way to show that person who’s the boss”.  If only I could grasp the reality that God is author and finisher, the Alpha and Omega.  I am His, He can’t make a mistake, and even in my doubts and dislikes of the path he is directing me in I should just trust and obey.  Oh, the depth of His riches…
