God is in control
"There is NO wisdom, NO insight, NO plan that can succeed against the Lord (Proverbs 21:30 emphasis mine)."

From our Equip session on Sunday night, I am reminded that God is in control of all things. He is the King of this Universe. He created it all. The awesome thing is that He wants a relationship with me. If I am on His side, then nothing can defeat Him or me. As long as I stay with the Lord! I find it so encouraging that nothing can succeed against the Lord. God is in control and I want to be on His side, the winning side.

You can remember this when the challenges of life rise up against you. If you're dealing with difficult relationships, stay close to the Lord--do what is right in His eyes and reassure yourself despite the hard choices that doing things God's way will succeed. If you're dealing with temptations and fail, return to the King of Kings who will pardon and forgive you. He wants you to do what right in His eyes. If you're dealing with boredom and don't know what to do, seek God's ways--ask Him to show you the path, He will lead you (see Proverbs 3:5-7). If you're apprehensive about the future and feel the pressure of other people's expectations, then seek God and ask Him to help you sort things out. He will guide you. Ask Him.

May God walk with you this day and build confidence in trusting more in Him,
Pastor D
