God Is In Control

God was, God is, and God will be.
God is of everlasting, he is the Alpha and Omega. By Him were all things created. God is Three in One: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God is Almighty and ever knowing. He is omnipotent. He is the Great I am, the Great Deliverer, The Redeemer of the lost. He is the Saving Grace, The Word, and He is the greatest example of love that will ever be. The God of all creation is the ULTIMATE.
I have come to a realization in my life. Throughout my Christian walk, I have tried so hard to seek after God and for small lapses of time I felt close to Him. But I guess my problem was that I was never giving Him 100% and letting Him take control of my life. I didn’t want to listen to the plans He has in store for me. I was involved in my youth group and in church, but never as involved with God as I should have been. Well, I had a spiritual epiphany recently, and all has changed; hopefully ‘til the day I die.
For the past 3 weeks or so, my heart has been focused on God, more than it has been in my entire life. I think of God continuously. I see His hand in my life. I recognize the opportunities He gives everyday to share the wonderful news. I hear His will for my life resonating in my thoughts. I have a calling for foreign missions. I have wanted to go on a missions trip for awhile, but never have. Our youth group is planning one this summer and I was involved with helping see that through. Except, I never really felt at peace with my personal decision to go on this mission trip. Well, God had been speaking through my heart in various ways, He has seen fit that I pursue something a little different. I feel God has been telling me of His plan for me to go to Peru this summer. So that’s my newest endeavor. The most important thing in my life is to follow the will of God. I get a feeling beyond feelings when I think about God’s work and God’s plan. Whatever happens in life happens, and all is good as long as God is in control. Every situation can become an opportunity to glorify God. Hopefully, one day, I will get to suffer for Christ, because He suffered for us all.
Well, just some thoughts about everything that’s on my mind and a testimony from my life. Hope it was encouraging; and made at least some sense. Until next time…
In Christ,
