Well, not really, but sometimes that's what it feels like for me when things really get out of control.
I'm reading, "Bold Purpose" by Dan Allender. Its a study on the book of Ecclesiastes which I'm finding I really had no clue about. The next several posts will be my abbreviated thoughts on this book. Enjoy!
Paul said in Romans 8:20 that creation will always be out of control to a certain extent. God does not want me to have a level of control that will allow me to think he is not in control. God doesn’t do this to frustrate me, he does it to teach me that He’s in control and I need him desperately.
When I understand that I'm not in control, it usually generates 1 of 2 responses: Can you guess which one is right?
1. Frustration that I'm not in control
2. FREEDOM that I don't have to be in control
HINT - #1 is wrong! Oh, but how many times do I get frustrated instead of free!
Freedom. When I surrender control, I don’t have to worry about it anymore. I need to let God be God and trust him with my circumstances.
This is a really good thought for my day!
