Control

As humans, we often struggle facing our daily challenges while maintaining our commitment to live as a Disciple of Christ. And sometimes, we wander off into territory where we begin to use our human perspective to define what is our path. The never-ending and seemingly growing global and national strife and divisiveness can distract us and create even more conflict and separation.

But the reminders that God is in control is all around us. It is God that continually calls us to embrace our faith and lead a life of mercy. We have people all around us that need our help. We are called to get out of the stands and onto the field to become an active Disciple of Christ.

Noelle Garcia and her husband, David McHugh, wrote the following song, Control, that is the perfect reflection for today.

Take a listen and reflect on what God is calling you to do, to become. Are you resisting an embrace of His view?

Verse 1

We're fighting wars, exploiting the poor

We play God in matters of life and death

Then we wonder... What are we fighting for?

In our dying breath there's things that matter more, things that matter more.

Refrain

There's still a wideness to the skies

In the beauty of the sunrise

Reminding us there's so much we don't know

The awesome fury of the wind

Reminds us once again

That God is in control, Lord, You are in control

Maybe we're not on the front lines,

But there are people in our own lives

Needing love and forgiveness, needing our presence

But we play God in judging hearts, hearts we cannot see

Hearts we cannot see

Bridge:

What if they were Jesus?

What if they are wounded?

What if they are scared?

Would you turn away, not even lift your eyes to pray
