WHO IS IN CONTROL?
When you have a new situation pop up in your life, what do you do? Most would say they turn to the Bible. I do. The problem is, I like to have control of my life and the situations that occur to me. I know that in order to be a follower of God, I cannot be in control. He is in control, always. And He also steers me in the right direction. I have read in the Bible many times to lean not on my own understandings, to cast my burdens upon the Lord, and to trust in God. Well, it’s a new week and I have a new confession. Sometimes, in situations, God has to give me a reality check and show me who is in control. Wednesday night I went to church and our youth pastor preached a short message about needing to give situations over to God. And, I felt a tug at my heart. There isn’t one particular thing that I need to hand over to God. It’s my entire life choices and decisions. I don’t feel the need to write some long story to everyone. Let’s be honest, you would probably just want to skip to the bottom, haha. Instead, I will keep it short and simple. It’s easier to read the bible and live by it when your life is just dandy. It is a lot harder to apply the Bible to your life when you have a more complicated life. I have lied to myself, in the way that, I told myself God is in control. I wanted to make things more complicated than they already are. So starting now, I will not fight against God’s plan. I will go with the flow and let God work in many ways that I did not even know were possible. Love to all, ali. Psalm 100:5 For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.
