Mark 11:11 "Jesus looked around at everything"
We live our lives so much of the time as if we are in total control of everything that goes on around us. In our minds we control what we do, when we do it and how we do it. Now that may be stroking our ego a little much in reality.
Let's take a look at our lives. We get up to the alarm so as not to be late for work, watching our speed not to get a ticket and obeying other rules of the road. Answer the phone as people are calling about various things important to them. Check our calendars to see where & when we need to be. Take an hour for lunch at the appropriate time and do all the errands we need to get done for the family. Back to work while remembering all the things we need to do this afternoon for the children, husband or wife. Leave at the designated time, rush to the store, post office, home, chores, supper, projects we have going. Now it is 10 pm, ah yes we have "my time" to do what I want now, until 6am. Yes sir it is great being in control of our lives isn't it?
Face it we can't control the little part of our own world let alone EVERYTHING else. The Scripture says that Jesus takes in EVERYTHING and makes decisions without so much as a tiny bit of frustration and concern.
When you have defeated Death and Sin for all eternity for all of mankind, the rest is a piece of cake. Allowing Jesus to work in & through us is the only control we really need in our lives. Jesus can handle life and all it's problems & joys, He has done it for a long time.
