When I go on vacation, I like to have a hotel reserved and know EXACTLY where Iโ€™m going to stay. Even if the plans change, Iโ€™d like to have the opportunity to make a new plan.

I just like knowing whatโ€™s going to happen. No surprises! I think itโ€™s my way of trying to keep things under control. How about you?

CONTROL-such a funny word for such a crazy world! How much can we really control, anyway? Especially, if weโ€™re committed to following God.

Iโ€™ve always loved this passage:

โ€œFor as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.โ€ย Isaiah 55:8-9

 

But it wasnโ€™t until just recently, that I realized that my affinity for trying to control EVERYTHING might be getting in Godโ€™s way.

If His plans are different than mine, (and they are)
and they include things I donโ€™t even know about yet. (and they do) Iโ€™m going to be better off doing things His way.

So, WHY do I still try to plan out every little detail?

God, I officially give You control. I commit to following You even when I donโ€™t recognize the path.

Iโ€™m okay with NOT knowing because I trust that Youโ€™re always taking me to a better place!

____________________________________

Are there any other CONTROL FREAKS out there who will admit it? (Show me a raised-hand emoji.) Come onโ€ฆ I canโ€™t be the only one!

    Pastor Nicole, we are similar when it comes to vacations. My vacations are usually coast to coast road trips or train travel. I will never fly. Before we leave St. Louis I know the fuel cost, what hotel we will be spending nights etc. Traveling through OK out on 44 the tornado siren went off. I had no idea what to do. I searched the sky nothing seem ominous and kept going. A few miles later I noticed these cars going past us and the spirit said follow them. We pulled off the interstate into what I thought was a rest stop. It was not it was storm shelter off the highway vey attractive building with a huge parking lot. People enter a room there is no sitting just standing. There were several of these rooms. We stood shoulder to shoulder about 15-20 together. I noticed the two of us were the only Black people. I was praying silently and I think somebody started a hymn By and By. My plans did not include a stay over in OK but we spent the night there, Wichita was my first lay over. It took a storm warning from God to change my plans. Met and sang a hymn with a bunch of White people. Awesome experience.
