He Is In Control, Not You.

The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, Like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes. Proverbs 21:1

I love this verse because it always reminds me to take a higher perspective when facing any situation.  In our calling to be ambassadors for His Kingdom , we are not confuse our calling is above Gods plans.

You don’t have to be in the driver’s seat trying to control the direction of everything. This doesn’t mean we should sit back and do nothing. It just means trusting our God to guide us from moment to moment. Don’t create a life where you need a lot of detailed plans, check lists, and to-do lists.
We try to imagine everything that we’ll do. How everything will play out. How to solve all our problems at once. But it’s impossible. We have to take it one moment at a time trust our creator, and things often turn out differently than we imagined.


Focus on What You Can Control, Leave What You Can't
"Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don't." —Steve Maraboli

Knowing the difference between the things we can control and the things we can’t is a topic that comes up frequently, both in my own self-reflection and in conversations with clients too. It manifests in many contexts and situations but always comes back to a single principle:

We can control our input, God controls the outcome

I can control how I show up in my relationships but I can’t control what other people think of me. I can control how much time and effort I put into preparing to lead others, but I can’t control whether It comes through how I plan it. I can control how diligently I work to pursue the call of God, but I cannot control the rewards others and myself will gain from it.
