be still and know He is God

wow... drafted this 3 months ago! GOD is in CONTROL and we DO have victory in Him!
i did forget the Ha and Ho joke for a while... unsure i should bring that back though! :)


if you're like me... the world can seem crazy. earthquakes, tsunamis, murders happening every week, people dying through disease or disasters or tragedy, and there's people without jobs, people without homes... and the list goes on. things just seem out of control.

i really wish i could wipe all the tears, hold the people who are hurting, take away all problems, and i really wish it was as simple as me making a lame joke (not too difficult! Ho and Ha... ask me, heh) and then everyone would feel joy and hope. i wish things in my life were also perfect and simple and all under my control.


truth is, things ARE out of control. things AREN'T perfect. the problems ARE there. there's sorrow, death, pain.


but i came into the presence of God today. i came and read His Word today.

and let me correct what i said earlier. it's a fact- things are out of control. out of OUR control.
but the TRUTH is- God's in control.

things aren't perfect. but they don't have to be.

because God is perfect. and He is the same. He doesn't change. He is always good, He is always faithful, He is always trustworthy.

and this God- is in control. and though there's pain, death, sorrow; there's love, joy, peace and HOPE.

His timing is perfect. He works things together for our good. He is always with us. He will keep every promise He has made. He gives us strength when we are weak. He gives us hope when we feel hopeless.
His love never fails.
