Do you have something in your life that feels out of your control? I do.
Once we realize that we are not in control, we can humble ourselves to God, who is in control. We can pray to God to help us.
When I look around at my life, I see what is in front of me. When I look up to God, I see that He is our Creator. God knows my past and my future. So instead of feeling like aspects of my life will never change, I have to look up to the One who can change it. Just because I cannot see how the future will unfold, doesn’t mean it won’t change for the better.
We have choices. We can choose God and invite Him into our life. Or, we can try and handle it all on own, which may lead to bad decisions and regrets.
Don’t listen to Satan whispering lies that this thing will never change. Satan loves to take our fears and insecurities and create a whirlwind of negative thoughts and feelings to bring us down and make us feel hopeless.
Don’t spend time listening to astrology, fortune-tellers, interpreters of dreams, mediums, and sorcerers. They are demonic.
God is the Only One that knows our future. God does not share space with Satan, so don’t invite any of these into your life.
God made the earth with His great strength. God made all the people and animals. God controls wild animals. God can give things to whomever He chooses.
When you are humble and submit to God, God can decide to give you another chance. God can decide the outcome.
Let go and let God handle it.
Jeremiah Wears an Ox Yoke
This message came to Jeremiah from the Lord early in the reign of Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah.
This is what the Lord said to me: “Make a yoke, and fasten it on your neck with leather straps. Then send messages to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon through their ambassadors who have come to see King Zedekiah in Jerusalem. Give them this message for their masters: ‘This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: With my great strength and powerful arm I made the earth and all its people and every animal. I can give these things of mine to anyone I choose. Now I will give your countries to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, who is my servant. I have put everything, even the wild animals, under his control. All the nations will serve him, his son, and his grandson until his time is up. Then many nations and great kings will conquer and rule over Babylon. So you must submit to Babylon’s king and serve him; put your neck under Babylon’s yoke! I will punish any nation that refuses to be his slave, says the Lord. I will send war, famine, and disease upon that nation until Babylon has conquered it.
“‘Do not listen to your false prophets, fortune-tellers, interpreters of dreams, mediums, and sorcerers who say, “The king of Babylon will not conquer you.” They are all liars, and their lies will lead to your being driven out of your land. I will drive you out and send you far away to die. But the people of any nation that submits to the king of Babylon will be allowed to stay in their own country to farm the land as usual. I, the Lord, have spoken!’”
—Jeremiah 27:1-11 (NLT)
