Girl dad problems: A million hair ties everywhere but Addison and Brooklyn can’t always find one. At least there’s a simple solution for getting hair ties back into their original shape: Just toss them in boiling water. They straighten right out.
Not always quite that quick or easy for us but definitely possible through God.
Proverbs 21:1-2 says, “The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, As the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: But the LORD pondereth the hearts.”
Turning a river can be a slow and steady process or a violent and rough, major event. Just depends on the river and the circumstances.
God will do what He needs to do to get our attention and help us go the right way, and the process will be a lot easier if we yield to Him instead of resisting. It’s true of a king and it’s true for the rest of us as well.
And really, we should want to yield to God anyway since His way is perfect and ours is far from it.
