Now to him who
is able to do immeasurably more than all we
ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. Ephesians 3:20
Have you ever felt like your life was slipping away and every
moment you are living you are fighting just to breathe? Obstacles become too
big, situations spiral out of control and life takes a drastic shift into
overdrive!
Finances, jobs, marriage, secrets, children, addiction, death,
pick your poison; they seep into your soul and take your feet out from under
you. You are often left breathless while chasing yourself for some sense of
normalcy in world that too often seems flipped upside down.
We like to say that God is in control and yet forget to follow
up with faith in believing He truly is. We seek, search and plead for His help
and yet still take control as though we can handle it all. We show the world
our battle is ours and we can control it, and yet we fight a fight that so
often leaves us soaking in our sorrows, lost and alone.
The truth is, we will always feel alone and lost when we
attempt to conquer the world or life on our own. I know I land on my face
almost daily and yet Christ loves me enough to not let my stay there. He picks
me up and leads my battle into His hands.
So often I claim to have it all together. I play the game of
owning control and grace to be perfect in an imperfect life and world. The
problem with acting as though life is perfect is that it always seems to land
me back on my face before the Lord crying for Him to take over, take control
and guide me.
I am so often reminded through life that I can’t do it without
Him and I don’t want to. No battle is too big for God, but any battle is too
big for me alone.
I want him to show up and take control. I want Him to steal
the light or pride standing in my way of seeking Him. All eyes on Him. I want
Him to take my heart, my life, my dreams and expectation and magnify it to His
glory.
The show is all about Him and through any poison seeping into
your life, He can and will take control.
Give Him control to steal the show!
