IT'S ALL UNDER CONTROL!

Sometimes things happen to us that are completely out of our control. You are in a hurry cos you have to be in the bank to withdraw money before closing time at 4 pm. But you cant find your passbook. Or you alight from a taxi and later find out that you left your cell phone in the car. You are just about to start typing a job application letter which you must submit tomorrow morning at 8 am. The time is 12 midnight. Then NEPA strikes and there's a total blackout that lasts 2 days. Or you have an important meeting to attend today at 11 am but you wake up with a running stomach that keeps running the whole day through.You feel me?



We've all been through trying times. And am sure you know it can be pretty frustrating. But I’ll tell you something: though our circumstances seem sometimes to be out of control, they can never be beyond God's control.
God sees and knows everything that happens on earth.And He cares about you in particular.So much that He knows every detail of your life. Guess why He's able to do that? Because He’s God. Period!Your creator. Not only is He in control but He's able to change, correct, restore, create. He's able to do anything. Nothing's too hard for Him.

He shut the mouths of the lions when Daniel fell in. I'm sure they were just staring at him like a bunch of dummies, trying to figure out why their roars were sounding like 'meows'. He cooled the flames of the fiery furnace. I bet they were burning bright at 'zero' degrees centigrade! He parted the red sea and air-dried it faster than you can say wow. He made Elijah the fastest sprinter the world has ever known when he ran faster than King Ahab's chariot. (lst kings18:46)

King Jehosaphat was to fight three mighty kings all by himself, a situation totally out of his control because in 2nd Chron 20:12, he actually said ”Lord we don't know what to do". Know what God did? He first of all made two of the three kings gang up against and defeat the other. Then they turned and destroyed each other. All this happened before Jehosaphat even got there. Amazing! But true.

So friend be not discouraged. When the circumstances of life appear to be out of control remember, God's got it all in check. Don't be moved by what you see. Romans 8:28: He will make all things work out for your good. He's a God who brings beauty out of ashes. Just believe. For Jesus said "ALL things are possible to him that believes"(Mark9:23). And He doesn't lie. So dont worry, be strong.

It's all under control.
