Many people are trying to know what this new year reserved for them. They go to astrologers, palm readers, card readers, fortune-teller, and those sort of people...
Never forget, God Is in Control.
I recall that in one of the most painful and difficult seasons of my life--a time when I felt very discouraged and fearful--when moments of loneliness were most intense, I would seek out my best friend for his wisdom. Often he and I would sit by a coffee shop for hours in the evening and talk. He would encourage me to pour out my heart about how I was feeling--all about the incredible pain that seemed to flood my soul. Over and over again he would say to me, "Remember, God is in control." That factual statement became an anchor to my life. No matter how hard the wind began to blow or how much the adversity seemed to intensify, my soul remained anchored to that simple truth: God really is in control.
STRENGTH AND POWER . . .
When a person can come to the place in life where they can say with absolute unwavering conviction, "Yes, but my God is in control," there is an awesome sense of strength and assurance that will fill the heart to overflow with an indescribable joy and peace. No matter what the challenges we face in life, this peace can remain.
