God is in Control

I can't understand why we have such a hard time grasping this concept. God is in ultimate control over our lives. Yes, we have choices to make. And yes, we do need to make the right choices that are ultimately led by the Word of God. But, why do we make those choices and still not put the entire situation into God's hands. I love the Lord with all of my heart and I have given him my all but, at times I try to do it Anna's way rather than God's way. It never works out as planned when I follow my guidelines. Now, when I choose to not worry, to not get in fear and to place the situation in the care of my Heavenly Father; the job gets done. I believe we just want it all right now. We don't want to use our faith or actually trust in something that we can't see.

It's all about trust, you know? We have the hardest time trusting. I don't feel the need to elaborate on that, it's just true. I have realized the people that choose to trust God with all their might are the people that are blessed the most and that live in a state of peace. They know that God is coming through even when it doesn't look that way. I am striving to always be a person of trust. A person that trusts in what God says and knows beyond a shadow of doubt that it is truth. A truth that will come to pass. God is in Control. That is truth.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
