Control

A word from the heart of God: Control.

This is a word that we have probably all struggled with during some period in our lives. Control means to have power, authority, or restraint over something. Weight loss is a great example. We have complete control of the consumption of food we eat, yet many seem to struggle with that freedom. The Bible speaks about control in two main ways: the first, trusting that God is in sovereign control of the universe; and the second, exercising personal self-control over our own actions. God gave us the power of self-control. Proverbs 25:28 says, “A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.” I believe today’s word is a huge reminder that without control over oneself, our lives lean into chaos and recklessness.
