Out of control....

"He is our deliverer! Wait on Him to move, because He will. He is our Rock on which we stand...so stand!"
How awesome is it that in the midst of all our "self-titled" chaos and our "so-called" problems, He is our rock to which we can cling to! He is our Rock on which we can stand! 1 Samuel 2:2 says, "No one is holy like the Lord!There is no one besides you;there is no Rock like our God." He is the only thing that stands, the only thing that satisfies, the only thing that sustains. When all around us seems like it's falling apart and everything seems to be going wrong, HE NEVER CHANGES! That's amazing to think about...that He never changes, He stays the same...just like a rock! I remember a time when I thought everything was out of complete and udder control and I had nothing to cling to. I felt as if no one cared and no one was even there. I felt alone. I felt like my life was spiraling and that I had no control.
I work at a camp during the summers and we sail at this camp. Let me remind everyone...I very much dislike sailing....want to know why? Because I feel out of control...that's the way the life felt, out of control. I didn't know what to do to keep the control. When sailing, when I feel as if the wind is picking up and I feel like its getting a little crazy, I grab for whatever is in sight; a rope, the boom, the steer, anything...and that's kind of like what we do when our lives feel out of control, we grab for whatever we think might calm the storm.
I reminds me of when all the disciples were on the boat with Jesus. When the stoms hit, they didnt know what to do, they were freakin out and it was out of control. The only thing they had to do was cling to Jesus and He alone would calm the storms. Maybe thats what we need to do...Just cling to Jesus!
