THURSDAY OF THE FIFTH WEEK OF LENT
I recently saw a banner in a
local church that said “Redesigned by Christ”.
It struck me that there were areas of my life that have been and still
could be redesigned by Christ. His
design of me was perfect but I felt the need to tweak it in an effort to control
certain aspects of my life. Of course, I
know what is best for me, right?
We feel the need to control many
aspects of our lives and at times find that we are successful but only to a
point. Finances, health, peace of mind,
relationships all can be stable and with a sudden miss-step, all is lost and we
cannot find a way to re-gain control.
Once we’ve lost control, what we
should seek is for Christ to redesign our perspective and to offer up the
situation to Him. But it is not easy to let go of a situation that we believe
has a huge impact on our lives. When we
give total control to Christ in any situation and seek His guidance we re-gain
the stability we felt was lost.
Christ gave up total control to
our Heavenly Father to die on the cross for us.
Could there be any situation we face any more difficult than that? I am challenged and challenge all of us to
give control of every aspect of life each day to Christ so that we not only
find peace and stability but also know the will of God in our lives.
