GAIN CONTROL

Are you in control of the situations in your life? Do you want to be in control? A University President made this arresting statement to a class of graduating seniors: “It gets easier and easier for man to dominate his universe... and harder for him to dominate himself.” He went on to say, “It matters little what you learn or express if in the end you cannot find some ways of working things out with your neighbors.” Well, the truth of the matter is that individually, we can't dominate the universe, but, with God’s help, we can dominate ourselves. It’s pretty widely believed that man’s greatest enemy is… man. Paul mentions it in Romans 7:19-20 when he says, “When I want to do good, I don't. And when I try not to do wrong, I do it anyway. But if I am doing what I don't want to do, I am not really the one doing it; the sin within me is doing it.” In order for us to have control, we must remove sin from our life. 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, He (Jesus) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Gain control of your life by giving in to Jesus and removing sin from you life.
