In Romans 11:36 - "For from Him and through Him, and to Him are all things." When we realize that God is in control of everything that touches our lives it causes me to think about these things:
#1. It takes away ANXIETY. When we are able to rest in the fact that God is in control of everything, that does not mean that we are not responsible or helpless pawns. It does cause us to realize that we can rest in the fact that God will be there to help us. Psalm 23:6 - "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life." God gives us this certainty in our lives.
#2. It frees us from EXPLANATION. I am so glad that I do not have to have all the answers! There are a lot of things that I cannot figure out, explain or to solve. In fact, many times I do not even know the questions to ask. But when I realize that God is in control I can live with the fact: I do not know, but I know and trust the One who does. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not to your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths."
#3. It keeps us from A SPIRIT OF PRIDE. What right do I have to be arrogant and proud when God is the one who is in control. Romans 8:28 - "And we know that in ALL things God works together for the good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose." The reality is we can either trust God or play God! Which choice is the best one?????
I pray that this encourages you as it does me today! Our God is in control!
