It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in humans.
—Psalm 118:8
Five mornings a week, the opening bell rings at the New York Stock Exchange. In essence, hundreds of CEOs are saying, “Trust me, I have this under control.” You may have learned the hard way that often it’s not so.
Do you think you’re in control? You aren’t. Instead, something is controlling you.
- Ego
- Pride
- People
- Fear
- Distress
- Anger
- Resentment
- Bitterness
- Frustration
- Obsession
That’s the short list. The point is that if God is not in control of your life, something else is, and it will control you negatively.
Something controls you, and you choose what it is. When you choose God, you shift from frustration to freedom.
Be mastered by the Master.
