God is in Charge

​Hello everyone…and a very happy and blessed Monday to you all! What a beautiful day that the Lord hath made...so let us rejoice in Him, rather than focusing on what may be attempting to take us down…Amen!!
You know…I just wonder how often we find ourselves upbeat, when everything is going well…only to plummet low, when a circumstance smacks us in the face. How is it that we believe in God and His power, while life is good; but yet we tend to lose that faith and fall on our faces, when something comes our way?
This morning, as I’ve been sitting here…enjoying a beautiful snowy morning; God began to speak to my heart…and what He wants to reminds us of today; is that He is ALWAYS in charge…no matter whether we are having a good day or not. As I was thinking on this, I also began to wonder why we tend to forget about this most powerful being, while going through some rough times in our lives; and as I was thinking on this, God began to once more remind me, as to how we lose faith in His power; because we have let go of the thoughts that once brought about that faith. In other words…we become so wrapped up in what is happening at the time; that we forget two things. First, we forget the moments, when He brought us through other past situations…and second, we lose touch with the things that once pumped up our faith in Him. 
I know one thing…when I look around me, I see a God that not only created what surrounds me; but I also see how He still has control over all that He once created. Just think…God not only created each individual snow flake; but He knows when the snow should fall and when enough has fallen. He also controls the way the sun shines and how each cloud drifts across the sky…and He even knows when to bring in the clouds that can release water upon the earth. As we think on this…we could go on and on and on…that is, if we have our minds set on thoughts such as these.
I have truly come to see many times in my life; that when I focus on who God truly is…and how He holds the control stick to everything He has created; that is when my situation begins to appear weaker and more in the background of my life.
Ask yourself this question today… “How am I ever going to see anything good…or even come to see what God may be up to, when I’m taking hold of a situation that I’m too weak to have control of?” One thing I know people…when we can focus on the past moments, when God was once there for us…and when we can read His word and see what God truly stands for, while looking around us at all He continues to control each day; that is when we will truly know without a doubt…that no matter what we may face; God is still in control.
Over the weekend, I was thinking on this a little and one thing came to my mind. Since Jesus defeated Satan at the cross; then why would we ever think that Satan could defeat that same powerful God right now? We must remember that even though time and circumstance has a way of changing things; God still remains the same powerful being that He has always been…and once we are willing to focus on His power, rather than the so-called power of a circumstance; that is when our faith will soar into the heavens…where we will begin to truly see and experience a God that is in control of all things…Amen!
Have a very blessed day…and ALWAYS remember that even though the circumstance may be attempting to take charge of your life…it can’t…and why…because God holds the control stick to your life...praise Him!
It’s ALWAYS & ONLY Because of Him…
