Who Is in Control?

We cannot control someone else’s behavior. We can only control how we react or respond to someone else. We cannot control life events. We can only control how we allow our attitudes about such events impact our abilities to deal and cope with them. We cannot control things but we can control our choices and engagements with things. We can only control ourselves. Ultimately God is in control of the rest. He demonstrated His control as I went plummeting off the ravine realizing I was sitting in front of a man at lunch one day last fall whom I had known over half of my life and I would not chose to be with him any longer. I had made that choice many times before, but could not get myself out of the situation. I could not face defeat and I could not face the outcome. I was realizing I was not in control and I was falling headlong into a bottomless pit I could no longer see my way out of. I had been driving downhill for years. I had been worn down, beat up and put up wet emotionally and physically. I didn’t have the energy to hold on to the wheel anymore… God stepped in and moved me out of the driver’s seat of control.


Letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace
