Life Is Unpredictable, But God Is In Control!

There are so many things that we as humans cannot control, including death. Stephen Baker reminds us that God 

is in control, and through His forgiveness, we can be saved forever.

We Cannot Control Our Circumstances

Life is so unpredictable. At times this can be very exciting but sometimes it can be very frightening.

That flood in the house, the illness that took us by surprise! How were we to know? It’s can be disconcerting! As mere mortals, we cannot control our circumstances and have to try to cope with what is inevitable as well as we possibly can.

There are many situations like this in life. Illness cannot be avoided at times and most circumstances are outwith our control. The ultimate uncontrollable event is death. We may be able to take our life, by force – it is very sad when someone gets to that level of despair, but we cannot and do not live for ever and we have no power over the day of our death.

Psalm 102 - A Psalm of Agony and Ecstasy.

This is a Psalm of extremes. We initially read the words of a person in deep distress, verses 1-11. Then there is a sudden change. We are confronted with the eternal, unchanging God and hope is stirred in the writer’s heart, verses 12-28. How can the same person be so different? It can only be the result of the Psalmist lifting his eyes from his problems and fixing them on God. God is greater than our problems and helps us put life into perspective.

How to rejoice in the face of adversity

In every thing give thanks – 1 Thessalonians 5. 18

Thankfulness is not dependant on our present circumstances. How will you react to things that happen to you today? Will you be thankful? 

Life's Uncontrollable Events

A New Year brings fresh challenges and opportunities but life is so unpredictable! At times, the variety life brings can be very exciting but sometimes it’s a bit frightening. That flood in the house, the illness that took us by surprise! The speed of change and our helplessness can be disconcerting! As mere mortals, we cannot control our circumstances and have to try to cope with what is inevitable as well as we possibly can.
