Master of Manipulation

It’s a natural tendency to want to manipulate situations in our favor. We don’t trust in God’s plan for our lives so we try to control what will happen on our own. What we don’t realize is that what he has or had in store for us far exceeds what we can do for ourselves. So when we try to control circumstances, actions and outcomes to work in our favor, we may think that we’ve succeeded but we are really missing out on so much more by settling upon what’s within our own power and understanding.
