Topic: Control (01/30/06)
At The Steering Wheel.

Who is in control of your life ?

We all like to think we are in control of our own lives. We decide where we work, who our friends
are, and where we live. Freedom of choice is good to have, and we are free to do as we please.
Some of us have families to consider, and some do not.

Despite all the great freedom of choice that we have, are we in control of our lives ? Let us
consider a few facts in life ; Who decided when we would be born ? and who will decide when
we will die ? Who has given each one of us a unique personality, and made each one of us
differently ?

God is in control, and he makes all decisions for us. Some of which we agree with, and some
we do not. If God makes decisions we do not like there is always a very good reason for it,
and we may have to wait to find out why.

God knows best for you and for me, so accept his decisions with a smile on your face, even
when you do not agree. Be happy in the knowledge that God is in control of our lives and not
you or me.

You are so right! We should always be thankful that some things remain just beyond our own control. He always does a better job than I do! Thanks!

A nice little devotional. The spaces before punctuation are a bit distracting, especially in the 2nd paragraph.

I'll have to think about the 1st sentence of the 3rd paragraph. Does God really make all decisions for us?

Your last sentence is full of reassurance.
