Are you in control?

This is a question we ask ourselves maybe several times a day. Control could be defined as a predictable outcome, a known environment a "safe" secure place. But the reality is control is a myth, it is a perception in the natural man. We can’t even control what happens in our own body! To plan and be prepared is wise but not if it limits the Holy Spirit. We limit him when we over-estimate ourselves and underestimate God. Today you may be surprised or caught off guard, but if the spirit is ruling your heart you will have divine flexibility. Prov 16.32 & 25.28 talks of having your heart ruled by the Holy Spirit. Calvary must conqueror our mind, heart and soul today. When things seem to spin out of control this is a growth opportunity to trust Him. It is uncomfortable not to know what will happen next, but God knows the end from the beginning – we step into that faith realm. Anxiety and stress will wear you out but God commands us to "learn of Him" in those times. Don’t fight for control - lean on Him and He will give you divine wisdom and capacity for the unknown, the unseen and the inaudible. God is the one who is in control and we are in him! RELAX!

Wow that's very real! :) Great thoughts on that - Control is an every day issue for the natural man - surrendering control to the Holy Spirit - I die daily - and yet I live, yet not I but Christ lives in Me!
