Control: What’s In Your Hand?

-Paula Rinehart “Control is the most subtle of dynamics, as natural as the air you breathe. It’s the insistence that your life follow a particular path. It’s about having an agenda for your life… we tote it along through life, often blissfully unaware, until it dawns on us that IT’S NOT HAPPENING. Or at least not happening the way we had hoped.”

Genesis 26:24 “I’m going to bless you and make you the father of a great nation.” He tells him, “I’m going to give you so many descendants that they will out-number the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the shore.”

Genesis 16:1-2 NIV “Now Sarah, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar; so she said to Abram, The Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family through her.”

The Clenched Fist- What are you trying to control?

3 Questions That Can Help Us Open Our Hand Does It Matter? Does It Matter? Is It Mine? Is It Mine? Is There More? Is There More?

Does It Matter?

Matthew 6:25-27 NIV “…do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food and the body more important than clothes?.. Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?”

Is It Mine?

What Do We Actually Control?

What Has God Put In Your Hand?

Philippians 4:6-7 NIV “ Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Is There More?

Philippians 4:6-7 NIV “ Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
