A Life Coach

In His great mercy and love, God offers to each of us a "personal trainer," a "life coach:"  The Holy Spirit.  How long it takes us to begin to yield control of our lives to His wisdom and truth!  We think we know; we think we can control our lives; we believe we are, as the snake in the garden suggested, "as gods"---until our worlds fall apart and we are left naked, exposed in our weakness and vulnerability. 

We are not in control;  we know nothing; we are caught in a whirlwind----until the Spirit of God arrives:  Peace, Be still; Be not afraid; I am with you.  And, relying on Him, we go forward, not in our own strength, knowledge, and wisdom, but in His.
