EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
“For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.” (Roman 7:18.)
We all need to trust God for our circumstances, relationships, and choices. We must overcome our own will and surrender to His will to help us become confident. Our confidence should be in knowing that His plan is the best plan. This will bring God glory and give Him the ability to fulfill His purpose in us.
Even though we may think we have the best plan for our life and we try to control that plan, God will confirm that we do not.
Control is something many of us struggle with. We must surrender our control to God and remember to pray and seek Him first before making any decisions. Let us be comforted knowing what He says (Isaiah 55:8-9): “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the Earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts, then your thoughts.”
May we all pray about relinquishing all of our control to God and then be assured that He knows what He is doing in our lives. Watch as the big things that you seek to control become little in the hands of God.
“Lord, take control of me….” 🙏🏼
