I know the plans (another version says: thoughts) that I have for you, plans for your well-being and not for your ill, in order to give you a future full of hope. I, the Lord, affirm it. In other words, God is always in control.
As you can appreciate, today there is so much violence, death, disease, poverty, affliction; and it could be said that God is not aware; It may seem that God is on vacation, or has pending issues to solve, such as who is going to be president of Mexico, or if many pacman paquiau wants revenge; or if the next president E.U. will let Mexicans legally enter their land; or those who are mortified in case they are going to regularize the marijuana; or if God is going to give us his will.
That's why people believe that when God created the world, it got out of control. * They believed that God did not know that man was going to sin; but in spite of everything and we think that the man got out of control - God is always in control.
God created man image and likeness: He gave them Eden garden, gave him power to subjugate the earth, gave him power over animals and all plants; God was in control yes or no.
Jehovah was not learning, nor was he spoiling, he had and he knew that he had total and absolute control of everything and everyone. You can imagine the ocean getting out of its contours; everything would be total chaos; but nothing that was created was out of control; because let me tell you this; everything is subject to his word.
So why do we think it got out of control? So, why do we believe that when man fell from grace, everything went out of control? Why did he allow it ?; because God gives man with a supernatural power to be able to choose on his own; but when they sinned, "nothing went out of control." Everything was with a purpose. -Because our is always in control.
Nothing went out of control, everything was in process, everything was predestined, because what you have not understood until this day; is that his thoughts are not our thoughts, nor are his ways our ways.
God wants each one of us to understand that their plans are different from ours. This we have to understand; It is more to God you do not have to understand it, to God you have to obey it. God has prepared something beautiful for your life, there is no doubt, but things do not happen as I want, but as God wants, and this is for a simple and simple reason: HE KNOWS EVERYTHING, He knows everything and knows what it is. better for you and the right time, so that you can receive the blessings that God has prepared for you. That's why I tell you that God is always in control.
I recognize that many times I do not understand why bad things happen. But I believe that God has a purpose for everything he does or allows. Then our faith must be based on the biblical one that says: that the Lord is sovereign (Psalm 22.28). He has absolute control of this universe, of climate, diseases, economic and political problems, of your life and of my life.
And if God is in control because we are mortified, by trials, struggles, afflictions, illnesses; because to this day Jesus is always in control; Jesus has never lost it, despite the fact that we see a storm in disarray.
The storm in the boat: when I walk a strong wind came and Jesus was asleep and his disciples told him mr. Wake up because we perish. (Matthew 8:26) and He said to them: Why do you fear, men of little faith? In other words: I am always in control. Then, getting up, he rebuked the winds and the sea; and great bonanza was made. And the men marveled, saying, What man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him? -Because Jesus is always in control.
