What
does the Lord say about us carrying the weight of the world on our
shoulders?
Is
it just in our genetic makeup to think that we are in control?
Are
we so deceived by sin that we fool ourselves into this belief of any
control in
anything?
God
did indeed give us the ability to make decisions but does that mean
we are in
control?
We
have been given free will and are responsible for all that goes along
with it, good and
bad!!
What
about faith in God?
Isn’t
He sovereign over all things?
Does
not God work all things together for His purpose?
As
Creator of the universe and everything in it, He alone is in charge
of His creation.
I
wonder if we humans are capable of trusting the One who rightly owns
all control?
Foolish
creatures that we are, do we really think we have any control?
Proverbs
19:21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose
of the
Lord
that will stand.
Romans
8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together
for
good,
for those who are called according to his purpose.

29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD
, plans for welfare
and
not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Joshua
1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be
frightened,
and do not be dismayed, for the LORD
your God is with you wherever you go.”
Isaiah
45:6-7 that people may know, from the rising of the sun and from the
west, that
there
is none besides me; I am the LORD
, and there is no other. I form light and create
darkness;
I make well-being and create calamity; I am the LORD
, who does all these
things.
Proverbs
16:9 The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD
establishes his steps.

all mankind.

Daniel
4:35 all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, and
he does
according
to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the
earth;
and
none can stay his hand or say to him, “What have you done?”
Psalm
103:19 The LORD has
established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules
over
all.
