JOURNAL/WHO'S IN CONTROL

"WHY are you terrified-O you of little FAITH"    Matthew 8:26

The TRUTH is we all like to be in CONTROL of our own lives-but the TRUTH is-none of us really are-EACH one of our lives lay in the hands of OUR HEAVENLY FATHER AND HIS SON

Dear Lord-WE PRAY for MORE trust and FAITH in YOUR PLAN for our lives and less in our own plans

it is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us and a GREAT DAY for following HIS PLAN
for our lives

WHO’S IN CONTROL










Who is in control
Of your life


Many of us
Think we are in control of our own life
Or at least
We like to think so


But just think about it
In the course of an ordinary day
When our day
Doesn’t go---or turn out
The way we had planned


How quickly
We get angry---lose our temper
Or flip someone an obscene gesture


Proverbs 29:11 says,
“A fool gives vent
To his anger
But a wise man
Keeps himself under control”




And that’s
Just what can happen
In the course of an ordinary day


What about the big stuff
What if we get an unexpected health diagnosis
What if we have financial obligations
That we can’t meet
What if
We can’t feed our families
What if our significant other
Is having an affair


Who is in control
When bad things
Or unexpected things happen in our life


Who is control then


We are deceiving ourselves
If we think
We can control our life


“The mind of a sinful man
is death
But the mind
Controlled by the spirit is life and peace
The sinful mind
Is hostile to God


It does not submit
To God’s law---nor can it do so
Those controlled by the sinful nature
Cannot please God


You however
Are NOT controlled by the sinful nature
But by the SPIRIT
If the spirit of God
Lives in you” Romans 8:6-9


I think of Saint Peter’s answer
For all the Apostles
When Jesus asked,
“You do not want to leave me too do you?”


Saint Peter said,
“Lord, to whom shall we go
You have the words of eternal life
We believe and KNOW
That you are the HOLY ONE of God” John6:67-69


Who or What will you and I run to
When the difficult times come


All we need to do
Is look back to the past difficult times
Of our life
And remember he HEALING
That we experienced before


We just need to turn
Our eyes and thoughts back to God
The SOURCE of everything good, pure, and HOLY
The CREATOR of life itself


SO WHOSE IN CONTROL


The one true creator of us all,


“By the 7^th day
God had finished the work
He had been doing


So on the 7^th day he rested
From all the work


And God BLESSED the 7^th day
And made it HOLY
Because on it
He rested from ALL the work of creating
He had done” Genesis 2:2-3


WHO IS IN CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE

“The mind of sinful man is death-but the mind controlled by the SPIRIT IS LIFE
And peace-the sinful mind is hostile to God-it does NOT submit to God’s law
Nor can it do so-those CONTOLLED by the sinful nature cannot please God”
Romans 8:6-8
