Everything in heaven and on earth is yours, Oh Lord, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as being in control of everything. Riches and honor are come from you alone. You are the Ruler of all mankind. Your hand controls power and might, and at your discretion men are made great and given strength.
1Chron. 29:11-12
What a wonderful time of year to reflect on the One who is in control of everything. He gives and takes away because it is His to do so. In the midst of these unsettling times I am reminded of the calm that Jesus brought to the storm that the disciples were experiencing. While they ran around in panic and fear, Jesus stood up, stretched out his hands and calmed the storm.
Are you looking to Him to calm the storm in you right now? Do you adore Him as being in control of EVERYTHING??? Remember you have a Creator and a Savior who knows your heart, your fears, your desires and your sins. Read Ps. 139 and meditate on the intimate ways that your Jesus knows you and loves you.
I encourage you to take the time to celebrate....."While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." He came down from His throne, lived among the wicked, and died so that you and I could have life to the full. Let us not forget.... He defeated death to give us that life.
What are you trying to control right now? Remember this verse from 1Chronicals my friend. Remember that God is in control and He loves you very, very much.
Have a blessed and wonderful Christmas.
