"The earth is the Lord and everything in it, the world and all who live in it; for he -founded it upon the seas and established it upon waters." Psalm 24:1

We claim that Jesus is in charge of our lives but when adversity comes we tend to manipulate the events of our lives to our advantage, our first reaction is to either run away from our troubles or ask God to take it all away. We don’t want to endure like Jesus did. The Bible says that "You're not your own; you were brought at a price" (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). We were purchased with the blood of Christ. We need to submit to God authority because whether we live or die, we belong to Him, the creator of all things. (Romans 14:8).
You can trust the lordship of Jesus Christ. God is a loving God. He wants to prosper us in all areas. He wants us to be blessed. We have to be faithful and obedient to Him. We have to surround ourselves completely to Him. We have to faithfully serve our Lord. We have to learn to let Him lead even when adversity comes, for when we are weak He is strong.
Is there any area of your life God does not have control over? Is there an area you'd rather keep to yourself? Maybe it's your marriage you'd like to keep control of by not being a submissive wife. Maybe it's it is a certain sin that becomes a stronghold and you have gotten comfortable with it, ask God to take control of it today and get free. Ask Him to help you understand the power of his Lordship and He will.
Remember that God provides for His people. He knows your limits and He provides the necessary strength you need to accomplish the task of your daily lives. Submit to Him and stop holding on. Give in to His lordship. Relinquish the power and control of your existence to His capable hand and experience a peace you never thought possible.
Praise the Lord!
