Kick but
 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways submit to him,

and he will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3
 

Sounds very simple.  Trust God.  He is God afterall.

However, there is a word that tends to get in the way..

'But this is very complicated, I think I'd better deal with this'

'But, you don't know what I'm going through at the moment'

'But, this is something I do everyday, I can take care of this'

'But this is a work issue, God does not deal with these sorts of things'

'But I've got so much going on.  I'll deal with it all and make some space to then trust God'

But but but..
 

We need to kick but.

We need to ask for the power of the Holy Spirit to charge along our legs down to our toe caps and swing with everything we've got.

But's just got to go.  It is getting in the way of God and us and therefore it is an enemy.

Goats but.  Sheep trust. (Matthew 25:32)
 
If we stop butting our heads against the wall and trust in God, He will kick butt for us, thereby clearing hinderences

and enabling us to get closer to Him.


'Yes, but that sounds like brutal talk...'

How long are we going to be prepared to allow enemies like 'but' hang around and turn our attention away from God?  

God is our inheritance.
