When Levi was a boy, or even when he grew up to be a tax collector, did he ever dream that he would be part of a new faith movement and the author of a book that would be read 2000 years after his death and affect the lives of billions? Yet, such was the case in God's way and God's time. So often we want to help people decide their life's work, pray for their restoration to health, or even help them decide on a spouse, yet it is God who leads the way and who will unfold HIS plan in due time.
Ours is to lift up our friends and family and truly turn them over to God and let his grace move them and help them in his way and his time. It's hard for us to do, for we want the best for those who ask for prayers, but who is God if his plan is not the BEST? Just reflecting for a moment on Matthew's story should give us pause and confidence in God's loving care and plan. Let's let God be God!
