29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?[a] And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. Matthew 10"29-31
From the time we were born, we learn that God is in control of our lives. This is not an easy concept to grasp by men and woman who continue to cling to the concept that they are in charge of their own destiny.
From the time we are little, we clamor for our throne. We step up and take our rightful seat. We make the rules for our lives, we call the shots, and with our own scepter we make our lives magical where seemingly everything goes right, no matter what decision we make,
God waits.
In the shadows, he waits for the moment in time when you cry out to Him "I can't do this anymore...I can't do things right...I keep making a mess of my life...help me God"
He watches us from a distance as we stumble and fall, and stumble and fall some more. He is thinking, if only my children would know that my son Jesus died for each of them and I have a better plan for their lives and a holy spirit that they can have to speak to their aching hearts?
And God waits.
He watches us as we go through difficult times in our lives like the loss of a job, or the death of someone special; hoping, that they will cry out to him "I need you, God,"
God waits some more.
He waits for others who know Jesus to come into their lives, to share the special message of hope resulting when Jesus not only died for, but was raised from the dead and sits on the heavenly throne.
He waits. He waits as his hurting children hear the message of hope, accepting Jesus into their hearts while relinquishing control of their throne, giving God control.
Our God is in control. Whereas fear and anger are so prevalently among us today, God's message to us is that his love for you is greater than your need to have control. God has our back and like that sparrow, he holds a very special love for you and I.
No matter what you might be going through, what pain you are experiencing, what losses you have suffered, God is in total control over all those circumstances, and instead of worrying and being filled with fear we should cry out to God and pray for every circumstance that comes our way.
Because God is in control
