Did you know that control is an allusion? It kind of looks like pulling on this rope. It feels like I’m doing something – that I’m participating and have a say in what’s going on around me. But in all actuality, I’m pulling and becoming tired and holding onto the illusion of control. But – as soon as I stop pulling and surrender my will, that allows the Lord to move. I’m trusting Him to work and move in my life and the lives of those around me. I’m giving Him control and relying on Him, not the rope. We must stop pulling and start praying, trusting in the Lord, and believing H̲e̲ is still on the throne.
“It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” Deuteronomy 31:8
