God is Still in Control













God is Still in Control


Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. PHIL. 4:6 NKJV


Remembering that God is in control is sometimes forgotten when everything around us seems to be spinning out of control. As a ministry wife, We are often alarmed by the things we hear circulating among the flock. We are troubled by circumstances we cannot control, by war and terrorism, by shocking media reports, and of course, there is our own personal dilemmas and difficulties. Worry and unrest creep stealthily into our lives to steal our joy and discourage our spirits.

Finding a solution to our problems often becomes the main focus of our daily life. When this happens, we take our eyes off Jesus, the One who is waiting to help us. Seek the Lord early when trouble arises. Take your cares and concerns to God who is able to resolve the most difficult situation. When we remember that God is in control of all that touches our lives, calm and quiet of spirit are restored and our focus returns to Him.

The psalmist says, Who is this King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty in battle. Focus on the “King,” where all things large and small are under His authority. Do not be anxious about anything. Jesus says, Come unto me…and I will give you rest.

  2. Internet is the biggest server of fun with a lot of variety.
    There are many people out there that are getting bored and most of the
    times when we get bored and we have nothing to do, we would mostly go on the internet
    and watch some funny pictures. Many people
    prefer the link baiting to increasing the profit in the online marketing field.

  5. Take a look at your schedule and come of with solutions ahead of time for lunches and dinners out, this will give you a game plan to follow.

    Naturally, if you are not a morning person, setting your alarm
    for 5am to go run a few miles will probably fail. If you have never exercised in the morning, then
    we urge you to try it at least for one week.

  6. Firstly, you must exercise; without proper
    workout, you can bid goodbye to your dream of having a flat tummy.

    The fitness vacation - Whenever vacation is referred to, most of would think enjoying tropical foods, sitting beside the pool, drinking, and partying all night.
    This type of exercise will increase your cardiovascular endurance, improve your flexibility, increase your muscle strength, improve
    your balance and can actually reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

  8. I believe that each of us has the potential to create personal miracles, and to
    spread these miracles throughout the world. What is interesting is
    that you get to read news and analysis that give you an entirely different perspective, rarely seen in
    corporate-sponsored media. On you left you will notice
    list of content providers and on the right is
    the advanced search option where you can search
    video clips by typing in the exact phrase (in quotes), or at least one of the keywords to narrow down your search.
