Wresting Control

We are a people passionately independent. We want to control our environment to the uttermost. I think we protestants, we reformed folk, we CREC types, we Christian schoolers, we homeschoolers, are all prone to this desire to be in control. And, of course, there is some truth in it. Self-control is, in fact, a fruit of the Spirit.
         But we run afoul of God when we insist upon controlling every situation, every outcome, every person and that is a real temptation for people like us, for people like you. 
Do you believe that the Lord Jesus is ruling over all things and that He is, indeed, in control? Do you submit to His Holy will or chafe against it? Stop wresting control from Jesus. It is good to be His servant and do His will.
