It’s Your Move

Day 315

It’s hard to take responsibility when so many areas of your life seem out of control. But if you can’t manage your life, how can you be answerable for it? It is true that you cannot control what emotions you will feel or how certain events come to pass, but you need to be responsible for how you handle your own circumstances.

As Dr. Norman Peart says, “God is in control. He has not left the scene. He has not left the control panels, and He is going to work it all out for His glory. At the same time, that means that there are some responsibilities we have.”

Part of moving on is to figure out where your responsibilities lie. The biblical answer to this question is to start right where you are. What were your areas of service and responsibility before you lost your loved one? You don’t need to jump into them all at once, but they will be your beginning point.

“Brothers, each man, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation God called him to” (1 Corinthians 7:24).

Lord, show me where you have called me to serve. Help me to begin so I can take responsibility and move on. Amen.
