Your in Control. Right?

Psalms 46: 8-10  Attention all!  See the marvels of GOD!  He plants flowers and trees all over the earth,  Bans war from pole to pole, breaks all the weapons across his knee.   Step out of the traffic!  Take a long, loving look at me, your High God,  above politics, above everything.

What version of the Bible do you use on a regular basis?  Currently my study time had been through using "THE MESSAGE"  version.  This morning in studying Psalms, there were a couple of verses that jumped out at me. 

 In today's age, we believe we can control about anything and in many cases we try.  In our economics today we try to believe we can control the debt crisis by more spending or more saving or any number of other methods to bring control back into the world.  Yet we still get further and further behind.

How do we handle all that?  Do you worry more?  Work more? Stress out?  How do you get back in control?  Well today's verse really sums it all up.

Look around and see all the marvels that God performs each hour of every day.  Literally when you understand that He is totally in control and above the politics we encounter today, it is refreshing. 

Now you just need to realize that this quote today is as true now as it was thousands of years ago.  When you feel stress or concern, just remember who is in control.

 Having physical things will past away so our verses today should give you a refreshing that we honor the one who has ALL control.

Get out of the traffic!

Jesus Take The Wheel

This weekend I was listening to an old song (2005) and it brought on new meanings.  The lyrics are about a young woman who literally had to give up and let Jesus take the wheel of her car. Often we what to hold tight to each situation and not allow others to know our thoughts or feelings.    We have total control of everything and every situation.

It is in that control that we often lose the best part of a relationship - depending on others.  Whether it is a personal relationship, church acquaintance, business relationship, spiritual relationship, or just our own thought process, we love to have control.

Over the past year I have had a new teacher who stresses for us to let go of our control in EVERY matter of our life and allow Jesus to be our leader and guide.  Even though I have had all the training and know the answer to let God have control, I keep control and direction for every aspect of my life.

A friend tells me, "Being in Control yourself; how has that turned out?"   I look back and see that the best times in my life were when I really did let Jesus take the wheel and control of my life.

Listen to the song in the link (after the commercial) and think about what areas of your life do you need to let Jesus Take The Wheel.
