WHO IS IN CONTROL?

” FOR YOU ARE A SLAVE TO WHATEVER CONTROLS YOU.” 2 PETER 2:19

Just who or what is in control or our life? What do we do when we run into problems? Who do we go to when we are having struggles? It is wise that each of us take time to step back each day and analyze just where we are in our lives. Are we praying to our Lord each day? Are we giving him praise and glory for all of the good and great things in our lives? Is He the first person we think of when we are going through struggles? Are we familiar with and living His promises? Are we living our beliefs in Christ Jesus to those around us? Or are we trying to take our problems into our own hands. Are we trying to navigate through our struggles on our own? Do we live our lives in a negative way, always down in our spirit and not positive. Do we communicate with the Lord only when we get so far down that He is our last resort? Who is in control of our lives? We must continue to build our faith and keep it strong. The ways of this world are always tugging at us and luring us from the ways we should be following in Jesus’s footsteps. We must keep our focus on the end result and not what is happening around us. We must stay in his word every day and communicate with Him often. He should always be at the forefront of our fight with our problems. He loves us and promises that he will deliver us if we just believe we receive and live our lives with that belief! It may not seem real, but our faith will take us to his reality in our life. This is not easy. It takes strong faith and a daily effort and focus to succeed. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS AND IN EVERY SITUATION!
