Give up control

Read this not too long ago…

Proverbs 16:1 The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD. (ESV)

Give Up Control The New Living Translation puts it like this: “We can make our own plans, but the LORD gives the right answer.” As believers, finding our way in this life often means giving up control. For some that’s harder than others. Like Jacob, we prefer to wrestle with God until we’re finally broken. For those of us who hate to let go (also known as “control freaks”), we usually learn the hard way, but eventually come to see the wisdom of giving up our own plans and letting God have the reins.

  1. yes, I have tried to control things myself and it did not work too good. God is better at leading and being in control. Good post!
