You begin studying the buttons on your Direct TV remote and the wheels start turning. You simply amaze me.

Placing our Trust in the Lord brings confidence that he will work things out for our good. I loved your illustration about the remote. We watch TV together in the evening and I let him have the remote.

And I, like you, have come to try to address it in the reality for which it really is; the enemy playing on our emotions. <br /><br />To fear the world more than we revere our Father is no different than idolatry. When we place anything before Him we miss the first half of the Ten Commandments. <br /><br />To sit back and realize that everything and everyone that we fear sits in the palm of God's hand with us and has no power over us is true freedom. <br /><br />Thanks for the reminder.

I'm with you all the way here. Thanks for turning my fear to faith with these insights. No, I can't change the channel of current events, but I can trust God--Lord of the remote control.

With the way of this world and country, we have been talking about the fact that God knows all. He knows the order of things. He will set the leader up that He wants for the country or any other. It is up to me to let Him and not try to fix it. I can do my part in the world and that is all. Letting God do His is what I must rest in.
