“Keep your servant from deliberate sins! Don’t let them control me.” Psalm 19:13
Just who is in control of your life? Who is allowed to help you make decisions in your life? Is it a relative? Is it a friend? Is it the circumstances surrounding you? Whoever or whatever is helping you to make decisions are all ok, but we must not allow our sinful nature to control us. We sometimes need those around us to help us keep going in the right direction. Many times, the Lord will use others to help keep us on the right path. He will use them to help us to keep our thoughts rational and not blown away by our surroundings. But we must not forget that we have a hot line to God in heaven. Praying to God in the name of Jesus allows us to take our problems directly to Him. With prayer we allow Him to hear our thoughts and allow Him to be active in our lives. We are inviting our Lord to be a part of what we are doing. We are allowing Him to act and to take us by the hand and lead us in the right direction. Friends, relatives and others who are close to us are a vital part of our decision making. However, there is no one who can or will replace our direct communication with the Lord. If we know Jesus on a personal level, then He knows us on a personal level. We are given full and complete access to our God in heaven through Jesus, and we have a direct hot line to the one who will give us the answers. It is by faith that we must believe that our God hears our prayers. It is by faith that we must allow the Lord to work in our lives. It is by faith that we must be patient and able to wait on the Lord. He loves us and will never fail us! Let us all put Jesus in control of our lives! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
