Who is in Control!

God is in Control!


“Let go of your concerns! Then you will know that I am God. I rule the nations. I rule the earth.” (Psalm 46:10).



Sometimes we think we are in control of our life, then things don't go to plan, one thing or the other happens and we can no longer handle the situation. Why do we let ourselves forget who is Truly in control?

 God knows this, he knows that we try to take on everything and control everything that comes from life but he knows that we are incapable and cannot do this. We cannot control every single aspect of our life without feeling overwhelmed and defeated. 

 This is where choice comes in. We may tell ourselves that 'yes I am strong, I can do this, I will not let this take control', but relief from the feeling of the world on our shoulders begins with letting go and letting God! Let go, and know! This is the first step to serenity in your life (Pastor Rick Warren). 

 The reason why we become stressed in this is because we become to be in conflict with God. We try to take control of things that only God himself can control. No one can control their past, their future, kids, family, school or their job. The more we try to tell ourselves that we can control these things, the more we are in opposition to God, because at the end of the day we are the ones who will be defeated and tired. 

So, let go and let God because he rules over everything, he is an all-knowing God! 

Prayer: 
Hold me close Lord, wrap me in your arms closer than before Lord, let me not forget that you are there for me, thank you, Lord, for reminding me whose in control. Though we may feel as though the world is on our shoulders Lord, we give our troubles to you Lord. Let your words perform in me, heal me from pain. Take me to that place where I can be with you, Lord. Wrap me in your arms Lord. Amen!

The Season of Loss

How do you handle Loss? The Bible says, 8 " O my people, trust in him at all times.    Pour out your heart to him,  for God is our refuge". (Psalm 62: 8) (NLT).  As we face inevitable losses in life, we need to remember that we have the ability to pick up and put ourselves back together, and begin to get on with our lives once again. When we experience loss we may get these feelings: fear, depression, worry, guilt and anger. If these emotions are ignored, it may take longer to recover and move on from your grief. This is why it is healthy and okay to experience all these emotions, some people experience these emotions at once, others may be staggered. Everyone goes through them, in relation to Loss, no matter what they may say. People who deal with grief and pretend that everything is okay and that life can be lived as normal, will ultimately struggle with the stress of many emotions. This struggle can last for months or years and y ears to come. Jesus said, 4 "...

Conflict... Resolving conflict

How do you resolve conflict in your life? 15 " A gentle answer  turns away wrath,  but a harsh word stirs up anger."  (Proverbs 15:1) (NIV). Why is it that when someone gets angry we also get angry, when people raise or shout at us, we usually shout or raise our voice back at them. By mirroring their actions, you are allowing the situation to escalate ad get out of hand, soon it becomes too late. " When other people raise their voice, lower yours — in your marriage, in your parenting, in your friendships, and at work. That’s called strength under control." (Pastor Rick Warren). When you oppose to what someone has says, take a step back and reevaluate the situation for a brief moment, come back, and handle the situation in the best way. This could be done by simply walking away. This deescalates the anger. The Bible declares that, 4 " If your boss is angry at you, don’t quit!  A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes." ( Ecclesiastes 10:4) (NL...

God's Love!

God's love is Deep, High, Wide and Long! It holds such greatness that it cannot be fully understood! Ephesians 3: 18-19 says, 18   " And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.   19  May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God". (NLT) Think about the way you love others. Do you love some and not love others? Is your love selective? Is it wide? Does it stretch out to those you do not know? Do you love those who have done you wrong? Read  Matthew 5: 44   God's love is one that extends, stretches and spreads across the whole world. It includes everyone and everything that He created. God created the world; He made us in His own image (Genesis 1: 27) and He loves us. God's  love for you is unconditional! Whether you like it or not, or want to...
