WHOSE IN CONTROL
by Patty Lynn
Life has a way of showing us that there are many things that
are not within our control.
We're
caught "off guard" when difficulties come...
And all we want are answers, some clarity.
We look everywhere for those answers...but the questions at
the forefront of it all are:
"Why?
Why me? Why now?"
"Now, what do I do," we
ask.
But answers to those questions don't come...
So we get busy, gathering information, trying to find the
right path, the next path.
We pursue every avenue, look at every possibility...
It's what we must do in our attempt to solve the issues at
hand...and then...if we're lucky,
It dawns on
us: "There's something missing from all this searching, and planning, and
questioning"...or better put, Someone.
That Someone, your God, is the only real answer...the only
one who is in control!
That might sound like so much religious Mumbo, Jumbo, but it
is THE TRUTH.
He told us
so when He said: "I am the Way, the TRUTH, and the Life."
But these were not just some antiquated words from a time
long ago.
True, they were spoken a long time ago, but, these old words
were relevant then and...
They are
just as relevant today...because your God, the God who made you, spoke these words...
Through His Son, the Son He sent to
redeem you, " a lost and condemned creature."
That's what He called you, you know...
But He
didn't leave it at that...
He unbelievably loved you so much that He put His own Son
through the death and pain and suffering
that You deserved...
Suffering
way bigger than what you're suffering now...yes, way bigger!
And if He did that, heaped that kind of pain and sorrow on
His own beloved Son
So that you could be His Child, so that Jesus, His only Son,
could be your brother...
What more
does He have to do...
To convince you...
That He is in control?
Jesus is there waiting for you to trust Him, to call upon His name in prayer...
