With all that's going on in the world today, are you wondering who's in control and what's really going on? Is it you, or your friends? Are your circumstances in control?
Our flesh tries to control us. In Galatians 5:17 it says plainly, that the flesh is continually opposed to the Spirit. What the flesh wants, the Spirit never wants, and what the Spirit desires the flesh never agrees with. The flesh tries to force, manipulate, and control you. Obviously this can create a problem for the person walking according to the Spirit of Christ.
God says it clearly in Deuteronomy 30:19 I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live. The flesh opposes the plan of God and so does Satan. As this year draws to a close, I encourage you to take inventory of all the things that try to control you, and begin resisting it all except the control of the Holy Spirit.
The mind and the emotions try to control our stubborn wills, and it wants to control us. The devil want to control us, the past tries to control us, and fear and worry, are right there too. There's an endless list of other things that try control us.
Follow the Holy Spirit and allow him to lead you into the perfect will of God for your life. Now he's in control!
