April 20th-Evening | CONTROL

Are you in control of the situations in your life? Do you want to be in control? A college president made this arresting statement to a class of graduating seniors: “It gets easier and easier for man to dominate his universe... and harder for him to dominate himself.” He went on to say, “It matters little what you learn or express if in the end you cannot find some ways of working things out with your neighbors.” We cannot dominate the universe, but, with God’s help, we can dominate ourselves.

They said that man’s greatest enemy is himself. The Apostle Paul mentions it in Romans 7:19-20 when he says, “When I want to do good, I don't. And when I try not to do wrong, I do it anyway. But if I am doing what I don't want to do, I am not really the one doing it; the sin within me is doing it.” There is something in us that controls us called sin. In order for us to have control, we must remove sin from our system. 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, He (Jesus) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Gain control of your life, by giving in to Jesus.
