TRUSTING IN JESUS=IN CONTROL


TRUSTING IN JESUS=

IN CONTROL

 

I don’t particularly like

To FLY=I don’t like

To be OUT OF CONTROL

 

But it is NECESSARY to fly=to see

My family and friends=and it makes

It all WORTHWHILE

 

TRUSTING in Jesus=he is always

IN CONTROL

 

“Don NOT be afraid”                                                                                                           John 6:20

 

In today’s gospel=A storm arises=

And the disciples see the=

GLORIOUS Jesus

Walking on water

 

I am SURE I would have

Been screaming in FEAR

Just like the other DISCIPLES

 

But Jesus says=

“It is I=

Do NOT be afraid”                                                                                                                        John 6:20

 

And isn’t that

The WAY it is

IN LIFE

 

NO matter what

We are FACING=if we

Have Jesus in our HEART

 

Jesus is in CONTROL

Of the situation

 

That scary medical diagnosis=

Do NOT be afraid

PROBLEMS with our money=

IT IS I=

Relationship difficulties

 

TRUSTING IN JESUS

He is in control

Of EVERY situation

 

“But the man

Who has settled

The matter

In his own mind

 

Who is under

NO COMPULSION

But has CONTROL

Over his own will

 

And who has made up

His mind

NOT to marry

The virgin

 

This man

Also does the right thing”                                                                                              1 Corinthians 7:37

 

“It is GOD’S WILL

That you should be SANCTIFIED

 

That you should AVOID

Sexual immorality

 

That each of you

Should LEARN

To CONTROL your own body

 

In a way

That is holy and HONORABLE

 

NOT in a passionate lust

Like the pagans

Who do not know God”                                                                                                     1 Thessalonians 4:3-5

 

But we CAN TRUST in God=

We can TRUST in Jesus=

 

He knows us

BETTER than we know ourselves

 

TRUSTING in Jesus=trusting in GOD

THEY are in CONTROL

 

For WHEN we know God=

When we know Jesus=ALL things

WORK for us

 

“And we KNOW that

In all things

 

God works for the GOOD

For those who LOVE HIM

Who have been CALLED

According to his PURPOSE”                                                                                                           Romans 8:28

 

SO I keep TRUSTING Jesus

In all situations

 

Jesus is TOTALLY in CONTROL=

And I keep on TRUSTING HIM

 

In the GOOD NAMES of Jesus and GOD=

HIS ALL LOVING FATHER
