Proverbs 19:21---There are many devices (Plans) in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel (Purpose) of the LORD, that shall stand (Prevail).
We cannot
control all things and all people. When we are obsessed with controlling people
and events, we can easily destroy others and ourselves because we do not permit
others the freedom to be who God wants them to be. If we have a fear of losing
control, we must find the courage to let others be who they are. For example,
sinners must not come to Christ because someone controls them. Sinners must
come to Christ in freedom because the Holy Spirit speaks to a sinner's heart.
We do not need to be afraid of losing control when our heart and life is placed
in the hands of Christ. Many times, a person's fear of losing control is
grounded in a severe lack of self-confidence. In addition, fear of losing
control causes us to want to control others because we cannot control
ourselves. All of us must learn to let God control what God wants to control.
All of us can relax and not worry about what will happen in the next moment
because God is in all things.
