I started thinking about control. I realize more and more that I want to control my life as much as I can. But the more I try to control my life, the more I start to realize that I can't control it. When I try to do things that will make my life go a certain way, I realize that I can't control my destiny. I can't control the way my life ends, or the way my life will be. Of course I can control some things, like what I do with my time and money, but I can't control how my life will end. I can't control what others do to me, what happens in my life. People try to make their life go exactly as they want it, but in the end there are some things you just can't control. I'm starting to learn that. I want things in my life to be under my control, but that's impossible. I can't control how my life is going to turn out. I can affect how my life is, but I can't control it all. So why talk about this? Isn't it kind of depressing? Well, yes I know it is. But this brings up a great question which I thought about. What do we do knowing this? First of all, we have to recognize that we cannot control our life. This is a scary thought, but it's true is it not? Once you recognize that, you're life can become a little easier. You aren't trying to constantly control what happens in your life. People who are "control freaks" have pretty stressful lives. You don't want that. I know that I don't want that. So know that we know this, now what? Give control of your life to God. Give your trust to God. Realize that you are not in control, but God is. God is a sovereign god, and He does have total control of your life. Knowing that God is in control of your life is very difficult, because God cannot be seen. However, trusting in God with your life is a much better solution that trying to control your life. God is the only one that can direct your life in a good way. He has plans for you that will make your life so much better if you just trust Him. Don't try to take control of your life. Give control of your life to God. Trust in Him, and He will bless you more than you can imagine.
