God in Control - June 17, 2008

Good morning, and it is good to be writing in the morning once more! I pray that your day will be wonderful in Christ Jesus. I have some catching up to do at home and at work, including packages to mail, e-mails to answer, phone mails, and on it goes. Does it feel out of control? Yes, at times my life does feel like a roller coaster. However, as Pastor Rogers reminds us today, God is in control of both my life and all of creation. We cannot surprise God, and we cannot do something that He does not expect. Events on the Earth do not catch our Lord off guard, though they may seem shocking to us. Does your neighborhood seem dull? That doesn't mean that God has lost touch with it, nor is a bad neighborhood a sign of the Lord's absence. We cannot fall away from the Lord's grasp! How often have you or I felt our grasp on the Lord's hand weakening, only to find that we are held in His mighty hand? There is no need to hold tight when we are held. The news may get you down today, but through and in spite of all that we see God is perfectly in control, just as He always has been.

Love and honor to our Lord Jesus on this fine day!
