From today’s devotion we read that Jesus was in control throughout. He would not allow himself to be killed until he was good and ready. He was in control when he healed the blind man, when he raised Lazarus from the dead and when he showed up in Jerusalem for the feast.
The question for us: will you let God be in control of your life? That’s a tough one. To let God be in control of my life means I have to give up control. That’s a hard thing. But look at it this way. If I’m in control, if I’m driving my life, you can be sure that it’s going to end with a spectacular crash. I can’t control my life. I can’t drive myself to heaven. But let Jesus take the controls, let him drive you, and how great it will be! It’s great for several reasons. For one thing you can relax. Loosen your grip on the wheel. Jesus is in control. Then, he knows the way to paradise. He’ll take you home to heaven. How great is that!?!
Lord, take control, take the steering wheel of my life. I’m not sure what routes you’ll take me on through this life, but I trust you completely that you’ll bring me to the wonderful destination of heaven. Thanks, Lord!
