Having control over our lives I
think is a natural human instinct. No one like’s living a claustrophobic life
where we can not control our environment or mostly what environment we live in.
So we walk and fight for control over where we go and what we do. We find
ourselves fighting to shape our worlds to meet our personal objectives when we
should remember we are not in the outcome business all by ourselves.
Everything in the heavens and
earth is yours, O Lord, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as being
in control of everything. Riches and honor come from you alone, and you
are the Ruler of all mankind; your hand controls power and might, and it is at
your discretion that men are made great and given strength. (1 Chronicles 29:
11-12, TLB)
I spend about half my time
wrestling the steering wheel out of God’s hands and the other half digging my
truck out of the mud as a result. My disposition can at times be so terrible
and I find myself so fearful. I forget that this is God’s Kingdom that I live
in and it’s by His hand that I am made great and given strength and so much
more. When I just lay down my sword, hand over control and rest in the
knowledge that he is in control, I am so happy, peaceful and courageous. When I
recognize where I come from, where I am currently and where I am going are all
at the great discretion of God I start to see real victory in my life.
I believe that the walk Rusty is
on today is an ordained walk. I think the walk we are on is in the same way
ordained. My hope is that we will let God lead us and that we all rest in the
fact that this is His World and He decides.
