Who’s in Control?

Control is a word we strive to maintain in all areas of our lives, but the harder we attempt to hold onto it, the more likely it will elude our grasp. Twisters and every other natural disaster film manages to show that we are not in control of this world.

Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. - Proverbs 19:21 (ESV)

With this philosophical consideration, what part of our lives do we control, and how do we keep it from becoming chaotic or infuriating?

We can do all we can to put the best parameters in place to maintain our sanity, but inevitably, the unexpected will occur. This is why it is better to put your life into God's hands, who has everything under his control.

We do not take our hands off the wheel of our lives, but power needs to be given to God.

Allowing for his authority to occur in your life affords a position of celebration and praise in good times and solace in times of difficulty. We are part of the process of living our lives, but ultimate control is really in the hands of the one who created all things.
