Control
Yesterday i freaked out.
I lost control. And as i look at my timetable, i really really freaked out. Like essays and everything. Not to mention that i felt that i had lost control over my life.
Then this morning, God told me something. You did not lose control. How do you lose something you never had. We do not have control. everything we tried to do was an illusion of control. To try and restore control into our lives, to try and put ourselves in the seat where we are in charge. Why? Because we fear. We fear the unknown. we fear uncertainity. We fear life itself, because the devil, the lord of this earth is one who wants us to cower in fear, who wants us in the darkness, hiding in fear, trembling in his 'power'.
We want to be in control, to deny that we are fearful. To deny that we do not know what to do. We want to be in charge because we want to choose the way we rise or fall. We want to choose even the way we are to fall, fall from grace. We believe the lies of the devil that we is in control, when in fact, he is the one in control. As long as god is not our controller, then the devil is our commander. Cos we were meant not to be apart from God.
Matt 11:28 says come to me all ye who are weary and heavy laden and i will give you rest. Heavy laden with what? With the desire to be in control. To be the lord of our lives, when we were not meant to be controller of our lives.
That is really what god wants us to know. Than he came to free us. In every sense of the word. To free us from our responsibilities as our lives controller. God desires that we trust him and put our hope and faith in him, that we may live and not perish. That we may trust him that he knows the best. That when we put our best foot forward, and we make the most of our chances, God is in control of the ending. Of the conclusion.
God, be myu controller.
