Control
Monday, October 15th, 2007Ever notice how the more we try to control a situation, the more it tends to control us and get out of our control? So often we are frustrated by all that is out of reach and get consumed by the whole thing.
Working towards what we think is right without stepping back for an overall view is often a recipe for disaster. God allows that so as we are always left with the same answer, He is in control, because He knows what is best for us. A reminder that the truth stays and all else fades away…….
Truth be known, He created you, and all that you are up against, to help refine you and get you to lean His way instead of your own way. You sure can go your own way, but what is your destination?
God asks us to have a Kingdom focus for our lives, and His Kingdom is at hand. Waiting in the wings is Jesus, our Creator and the Holy Spirit. With His control we find our true selves, and not some battered path we seem to enjoy treading over and over again.
In a way we are doubling up! He already controls our day to day living. So why try and take control of the controller? Chill out and ask Him to control it because He already knows what is best for you.
The problem with that old battered path is that we only kill more of the grass underfoot and slowly get bogged in it. Let Him be your guide on this trip.
Lift your arms up and open your hands to our Father God, and let Him take all control; you are destined for it. In this you will find true control; the type of control that gives you eternal life, happiness and soul. He will often give you a new path though, because the old one is no longer traversable. You made the old dreams die, so move onto the next level; the one given by God. Ask Him to guide you through and through. Find that control today. Losing control is only God reminding us that only He has the best control for us.
