God Is In Control

Romans 8:28-29
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

Do I really believe this? Do I really trust God that He will work all things to the good? My heart cries out "yes" but often my life says the opposite. If God is in control than nothing that happens in my life takes Him by surprise. Not one thing catches Him off guard, nothing sneaks up on Him and freaks Him out. I am certain that God allows things to happen in our lives in order that He might work it out for our good. Now it may not seem so good to us, but I am certain that once you look at whatever it is, you will see the good if you are looking from God's point of view and not my own fleshly point of view. God is in control and either I can choose to except that or I can choose to ignore it but it does not change that He is still in control.

Father help me to trust you and look at things through your vantage point rather than my own and help me to see the good that you are working out in my life.
