Feeling Lost? Don't Worry, God's In Control!

"You may feel lost and alone, but God knows exactly where you are, and He has a good plan for your life."  -Spiritual Inspiration

Does your life feel so out of control that it's like "feathers in a hurricane?" There are few things worse in life than feeling out of control.

Thankfully, we can take comfort in the fact that God is always in control. He is never surprised. He is never unprepared. He's never overpowered. He's never detained, or held back.

In Mark 1:21-28, Jesus publicly displayed his amazing control over everything around him. It was Sabbath and Jesus went into the synagogue and started to teach to those who were there. It just so happened that there was a man in attendance who was possessed by an impure, or evil spirit. Realizing who Jesus was, the man cried out, "What do you want with us, Jesus? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, you are the holy one of God."

"Be quiet!" Jesus said. Then he spoke to the evil spirit, "Come out!" After some shaking and shrieking, the evil spirit obeyed his command and immediately came out of the man.

The people there were totally amazed! They asked one another, "What's going on here? Even evil spirits obey his orders." We know that there was power in Jesus' words. He took control of that man's life right then and there; and his life was changed forever!

Friends, Jesus wants to be in control of your life as well. He wants to be in control of the plans you make, what you say, what you do, and where you go. Why? Because he wants to run your life? Not at all! He wants to be in control because he truly wants what's best for you.

Scripture tells that God has a plan for us (Psalm 139:13-16). It's an awesome plan that gives us hope, and a promising future. However, we'll never follow that plan to fruition unless we allow Jesus to be in control.

Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11; Proverbs 3:5-6; Romans 8:28; Proverbs 3:5; 1 Corinthians 2:9

Prayer: Holy Father, I want you to be in control of my life. I know that you only want what's best for me, and I can't ask for any better than that. Amen.

May your lives be blessed!
