My thought for this week is God is in control. I know we hear that so often. However, I want to take a moment out and catch our breaths and meditate on that statement, “GOD IS IN CONTROL!” He is you know. It may not feel like it and we are so programed to drive our own lives, but we can’t. We can try. We can absolutely drive ourselves and everyone around us crazy trying, but it is of no use to Him or us. We ultimately have 0% control. I don’t want this to seem scary or negative, because I know to most of us out there the idea of 0% control is just plain scary and not an option in our thought process. It is just truth. It is Plain and simply the truth. We can fight it, resist it, argue it and turn our backs to it completely, but when it comes down to the nuts and bolts of it simply, we have no control over our lives. God is in control. He can turn on the light and turn them off when ever and however He chooses. The only thing we can control is our willingness to trust Him and rest in His peace.


  So, this is supposed to be inspirational and so far it may sound a little absolute and harsh, but there is a light at the end of this blog. His control and our lack of control mean His worries and concern not ours. I don’t expect God to actually worry, but we shouldn’t either. We have no control. We should hand our hurts our fears our worries and concerns directly over to Him and say, “Here Lord, these came to me today and I believe they belong to you. Thanks for taking care of this for me. I know you’ll make the right decisions and do the right things.”

   It is really that simple!!So, I challenge you tonight as you lay down your head to truly give everything to its rightful owner. Quit breaking your back trying to still God’s job. It is not ours to worry about, so just give it to Him and rest in peace.

“Oh, this is so good and I like the sound of it, now can I actually join you in doing it myself?”

Philippians 4v6-7

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
