The Control Tower in my Life

This week just has been crazy. Though it has been crazy, I've learned something from this struggle with life. God is great!

I've been stressing over my essay that was due yesterday. Along with that, I had a quiz that I did not study for until Thursday late at night. Throughout that day, I have been complaining and feeling frustrated.

That night after studying, I found out that my 9 o' clock class was canceled. I was ecstatic and relieved, yelling "Praise God!" Now, I realized that God is great and watching out for me.

Just now, I was reading the Ephesian commentary and read about verse 11-12 of chapter 1. This verse talked about election and how Christian Jews were the first to be promised about the salvation, following with the Gentile believers. The commentary then mentions about us being sealed by God as his possession. We were inherited by God, and God now controls everything about us. By the end of this week, I knew I was tired, stressed, and frustrated and I know that God knew that. Because of this, my early morning class has been canceled which meant one more hour of sleep. God has been watching out for me.

Through this experience, I now know that God has been faithful to me while I myself were just complaining and griming about my problems. As a friend of mine told me, I needed to suck it up and just rely on God a lot more. Complaining does not glorify God and just brings a frustrated heart. I though those were harsh words at that time, but it fits so well with this trial I just had.

I hope that this experience would remind myself of God's sovereignty and faithfulness in my life. This is not something I write nonchalantly and forget about it the next day.
