Such a long time it has been since this has been touched. Hoping this is the start of a renewed commitment of writing and sharing.
I am stuck on the couch barely able to talk and my mind has no where to go but everywhere. What needs to be done, when to get it done, and how to keep everything in line. Underlying all of this is control. Control, the mindset of needing to directly influence every decision and situation involving oneself and often others' as well. That is how I define this word of control. Control is hard to give up when so much is at stake; work, finances, relationships etc. Sitting on this couch I am out of control. I can only do so much of my own ability. I must submit and give up to God that which I cannot do. God will be the one to get the credit. The selfish nature wants the control and praise to feed itself, but true reliance is needed to the Bread of Life (John 6:35). I must do my part, but I have to let God do his. With being sick proper fluid and food are important in recovery. In faith, reliance on God and trust in His control creates the need to be properly fed, through prayer and Scripture.
Are you having your daily bread? Where must you let go, and let God?
