Give Up Control

Who is in control?

My flesh always wants to take the reins.

I want to orchestrate things.

I don't like to trust.

I don't like to rely on others.

There are so many uncertainties in life.

I can try to plan,

I can chart, graph, spreadsheet until there is nothing left to document,

but I cannot control everything.

And I don't need to.

I have a God who fights for me.

I am His.

I am His child.

I am His sheep.

I am in His hands.

The child doesn't worry because mom and dad are there.

The sheep trusts the shepherd.

When God is in control,

I need to hold my peace and watch Him work.

Sure there is wisdom to be used.

Sure I am not to face the day blindly.

Sure I am not to be lazy.

But worry should not be a part of my day/

Just give it up, Sandra!

It does you no good.
