I forgot a word.

“Controversial”

 

I spent 10 minutes in my office yesterday thinking of this word.  I knew what I was trying to say and knew the word I was looking for started with a “C” but could not think of the word.  In the middle of trying to think of the word I was humbled by the Lord.  I realized that each that every word I think of is a result of God allowing me to think it.  Every motion I am able to take is because of God’s grace.  So often I think I am in control.  I can think, move, and act all on my own.  Today, I was humbly reminded of my dependence on Him even for the little things.  I am not in control of anything.  If God wants to do something, he will.  If I get in His way he can take me out of the equation in an instant.  He is God.     

 

My prayer today is that we would all realize our dependence on Him.  We can do nothing apart from Him, period.  That is why Colossians 1:17 says that “he is before all things, and by him all things are held together.”  So remember, all you do is a result of Christ allowing it.  He is in control, not you.
