* God Is In Control

And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." --Isaiah 6:3

Did you know there is now a modern day version of the Golden Rule? It says that "He who has the gold sets the rules".

Who sets the rules for you? Your supervisor? The company president? The government? Whoever sets the rules has great power. Sometimes we feel like that particular person has too much power and control over our lives. We long to be that person who has the gold and sets the rules.

On the highest level, God is the one who sets the rules and has the greatest power over us. We make choices in life, but He is the ultimate boss. Through the prophet Isaiah, God told us to "maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed. Blessed is the man who keeps his hand from doing any evil."

It's good to know that God is kind and just. In our daily decisions, we need to follow God's rules that are found in the Bible. Hopefully, you follow those rules in grateful response to Christ and what He's done for you, not in an effort to earn your way into heaven.

Sometimes when people around us are flaunting their power, it's easy to forget who is ultimately in control. Our challenge today is to obey God's rules for our life. Turn our situation over to God. He is in control.

"There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'" - C. S. Lewis (1898-1963)
