Who Controls Our Lives

Reading Verse: Joshua 4:1-24

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.

Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

1 Timothy 6:10

The success or life achievement of a man can be determined by how he lives this life. For example, if we always have negative point of view about things, then this will attract bad things to happen in life. Thereofe, never let ourselves be moved by corrupted things. First of all, never let our past reign over our lives. Don’t allow our past make us traumatic no matter how bad our past is, because this will hinder our life achievements. Many people are unaware that their lives are controlled by their past. As a result their lives become ineffective, whereas God has promised a better tomorrow. So we must be able to leave our past behind and direct our focus on our destination. When we keep moving forward, our lives can become effective and we will be able to find the purpose of our lives in order to achieve success.

When we face a problem, don’t let it control our lives that will make us pessimistic and bitter. In times of trouble, stay strong and move forward with God in facing the problem. Don’t give up when troubles come. Let we control the problems and not the problems control us. Believe that trias we have will not exceed our strength. God will give us the ability and the best way out for us. In addition, we should also be careful with money as oftentimes our lives are controlled by money. Keep in mind that the love of money is a root of all evils. When money takes over our lives, we will use all ways to get it including the evil ways. Always believe that God bless our lives. He is God who is able to meet all of our needs. So never let our lives be controlled by money. Instead, use the money we get for the glory of God. Be the money controller and don’t allow money controls us. Let God and His Holy Spirit, who lead us to the truth control our lives. Wherever God is taking us, it will lead us to goodness and even victory.

Let each of us enter His best plan. Walking with God will lead us to victory.
