Wednesdays Full of Wisdom! - God is in control!!!

And You, calm the raging sea. And You, calm the storms in me, again. 

All I know, is I find rest in You. 

Something that God has made very evident in my life this week, is that He is in control. When we live a life surrendered to the will of God, we choose to live subject to what He wants for us. Even when we give into our flesh, He finds a way to get a hold of us and get us back on track and in sync with His will.

To be honest with you, I have been trying to go along with something lately, that I knew was not good for me. I knew it was not a life-giving situation, and would likely drag me down spiritually. But I ignored all the usual warning signs because the situation made me feel better about my life. I was finding comfort in it, rather than in Christ. I asked for prayer from a couple people because I knew I needed strength to overcome my flesh in the situation. But even when I asked for prayer, I had no intention of stopping my actions. And this is about the time that the Lord intervened. Something that I should have ended, the Lord took control of, and He ended it for me. He is faithful and just, and He hears the prayers of His people. I am so thankful for that.

There are quite a few other situations in my life, as of recent, that I know I need to give to God, with faith that all things will work together for His glory. Through this experience this past week, I have realized that I am not in control, He is. I have surrendered my will to His. So therefore, there is no logic in worry about what will come, or what is going to happen in the future. I am not in control, so why worry? I have truly learned to trust in the Lord. He knows what is best. There is no greater peace than that of a life lived in complete surrender to the will of God. I am so glad I have a Father in Heaven that knows all things, and knows what is best for my life. There is nothing to worry about. I am a daughter of the King! :) 

So my encouragement to you today, is to remember, God is in control. There is simply no logic and quite honestly, no faith, in a worried heart. We are called to live in accordance with the will of God, to seek His face daily, and to glorify Him alone with our lives. So walk with Him, and trust Him, and you will therefore find an indescribable peace that comes from a life that is truly surrendered to the Lord.
