Is God really In Control?

As I grow as a Christian, I am being made more fully aware of God's sovereignty. I am thankful to God for helping me to see how the recognition of His sovereignty is the "thing" which brings "the peace which surpasses all comprehension" (Philippians 4: 6~7). If you or I say that "God is in control"... then we need to believe it! Oswald chambers has reminded me that "active obedience" is the requirement on my part to be in a position to see all of this... so this is my simple summation (I fully admit that I am a man who needs simplicity)...
  • Be thankful for God's touch upon my life (salvation thru Jesus Christ)
  • Listen to what He tells me
  • Do what He tells me
  • Expect that I am walking in His will

Be careful of trying really hard to live as a Christian. Either you are or you are not. Instead pray that The Father will reveal Himself to you... follow Him... then you will understand the will of The Father... and will have "the peace which surpasses all comprehension... because God IS in control!
