CONTROL FREAK?

DO YOU REALLY HAVE CONTROL?

                                                   YOU MIGHT THINK YOU DO...

Do you rather drive your car than ride with a friend? Do you find yourself telling people what to do? Do you have to have it your way or the highway? Well, we all struggle with these common things, and sometimes don't even realize it, that were actually being a control freak! I know I personally struggle with these issues, because sometimes I have more trust in myself than others, so its more of a trust issue than anything. Because we know ourselves more than anyone else , although we might think we know people but in reality we dont really know that person like they know themselfs, or like God does. Often people become controlling because they want that power in their life that they feel they dont have, such is at work, a relationship, or anything in life. There is something missing, and controlling is a way to fulfill that need. In Jeremiah 17:5-7 it says, those whom have mere humans incontrol of life are cursed, and those whom have put God incontrol are blessed, and have hope and confidence in the Lord. This hits home to me, because I have always been a scared like person, one of my deepest darkest secrets is I have always looked under my bed before I go to sleep, or slept with the light on when I went to sleep. These things are so silly and childish, but they are evidence of my lack in trust in God, just recently I have put my full trust in the Lord, and given him full control, and I dont even really think of doing these things anymore. That fear is now gone, and my thoughts are filled with other things, such as things I come across throughout the day and also people I associate with on a daily basis. I like to observe people and their actions, because you can learn alot by just a persons body language. While, sitting at a local cafe, I often enjoy my food, while ease dropping on what they are talking about or figure out what they are focused on. Most are usually on their phones, computers, or trying to keep their kids undercontrol. Little do they know, they are taking part in some type of control, whether it be choosing who they are talking to on the phone, to what website they are on, and how to control their kids. What people dont know is a lot of our lives is all about control, and we think we have control of our whole life. Wrong, we have no control of this life on earth, and this is on issue, I would like to share to the world. Their would be a lot less worry, heartache, and fear in this world. If only people knew they dont really have control over their life. You can for sure try, but their will always be things that get in the way, that will make your life go in another direction whether your a Christian or not. So, why not put God in control of the driver seat and you be his passenger and follower. Maybe I should work for the company L.G. ( Life is Good) but just change their slogan to Life is Good with God =] So, my question for you is, do you think your the driver or is God the captain ? Aka Ruler, driver, of your life?
