What is God in Control of?

By Pastor Rey Diaz

God was in control. God is in control. God will always be in control. A snowflake doesn’t hit the ground without God knowing. God is in control of how many hairs are on your head. God is in control of all the cells of your body. Down to the molecular level, God is control of every neutron, electron and proton.

God is in control of every detail of your life. He is in control of you past, present, and future. God is in control of your immediate family. He is in control of your extended family. He is in control of you friends. God is in control of your finances.

God is in control of the stock market, and the economy, and the NASDAQ.

God is in control of the school system, and the crime rate and the unemployment rate.

God is control of your struggles, and weaknesses, and shortcomings.

God is in control of every detail of your life.

There is no arena of your life over which God does not have complete utter control. Nothing is beyond him. Everything is under his watchful gaze. And in due time he will lift you up.

You might not feel his control. It might not seem God is in control. All the evidence might suggest God is not in control. But this is a promise in scripture – God is in control. He reigns sovereign.

Can you believe this? Do you struggle to accept this? Will you vocalize this? Will you surrender control to God?

Colossians 1:15-20

"The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross."
