What, Where, Why?
This week in Synergy we are talking about how God is in control even in the midst of uncertainty.
We all have dreams or something that we would really like to have happen but is out of our control. Your dream might be to become a professional athlete, a music artist, make a lot of money or open up a charity for the less fortunate. One of my dreams is to run a marathon one day. But, unfortunately we all have fears too. You might fear that you’re not strong enough to become a professional athlete or can’t sing well enough to become a famous music artist. I fear that I am not strong enough to run a marathon.
The truth is that no matter how well you plan or how hard you work, no one can guarantee that your dreams will come true, or that your fears will stay away. You might get drafted into the NBA or you might end up being a high school coach. You might get a recording contract or you might by a praise team leader at church.
The only guarantee that we have is this: Jesus has the future under control. Sometimes that doesn’t sound very reassuring. But when we realize what it means and trust that it’s true, it can make a BIG difference in our lives. Sometimes I think we spend hours awake at night searching for what our purpose is in life and asking God where we fit in? What am I suppose to be doing? What does my future look like? The truth is none of us know exactly what God had in mind when he created us but we do know one thing that if we trust in him and not ourselves he will make sure we fulfill all the plans he has for us. So whenever you start to doubt what you are doing here remember Proverbs 3:5-6 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
See you Wednesday for Synergy at 7pm!
