Monday // Surrender :: Control

Title: Trust God

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; – Proverbs 3:5

Ah, control is more than just a word. We all feel so much better when we call the shots, whether at work, at home, with a group of friends, or perhaps even leading a small group study. Yet, we usually feel a little stressed if we are not in control. Here is a reality check for us all: surrender the feeling that we are not in control. God is! We must learn to approach each day and each week with this understanding, and you will find that life may be more enjoyable.

Real Men surrender control.
