When God’s Not In Control
15 Feb 2010 Leave a Comment
I cannot just say that God is in control of everything and expect things to “work out on their own”. He is in control in our lives when we allow Him to be. Allowing Him does not mean just saying it but acting in a manner that proves as evidence that our decisions are making room for God to move in the way He longs to move in our lives. He has ordained me to take charge of many matters. Genesis speaks of a human race that was ordained into power and authority over this earthly kingdom. You see…when God speaks, action inevitably follows that word. We, on the other hand do not reflect such characteristic. But, we should. We should be a people of word and action. The bible is full of scriptures that encourage us to trust God. Trusting involves action, not just words. As we take action, we can trust that things WILL work out (not on their own) because He is with us. When we can’t make it in the natural, then He comes in with His supernatural expertise.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah. Psalm 46:1-3,7
Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
Possibility knocks at my front door everyday. The impossible I take to His doorsteps through prayer.
Have you taken action today? Have you prayed yet?
