The events of late, remind us all of how little any of us can control.

Our next heartbeat.
No.
Our next breath.
Certainly not.

But the thing is, we were made to rest, and even delight, in something we certainly can’t control—God.

We were made to know God.

To live is not control,
to live is Christ.

As A.W. Tozer says, “As God is exalted to His right place in our lives, a thousand problems are solved all at once.”

As we surrender our lives to Him, everything else is shifted.

The things of this life fall into perspective and our hearts take the long view—the eternity view.

Things that used to cause us fear and worry, lose their power over us as our eyes look to His power, His goodness and His control.

We find courage and can stand fast, even when suffering, even in death, because His peace far exceeds the temporary peace of this world. (John 14:27)

The lost world does not understand this and even mocks this peace.

Yes, storms may come, trouble may abound, things are, indeed, out of our control.

But we can keep trusting Jesus, we can keep looking to His power, His truth, His goodness and THAT changes everything. THAT calms the storms in us!

May those who have found His peace, may those who have been saved by the blood of the Lamb, tell others where hope may be found!

May we live today with this peace and for our Lord.
