Control

"It's time to give up your role as general manger of the universe." 

Excellent sermon I wanted to share by the pastor of my cousin Cara's church in Knoxville, TN.

Why do we take on the role of General Manager? 

1. Do you feel you have to? Because no one else is going to do it? 

-or-

2. Do you want to be? Because you like being in control? It feels good to be competent. 

... we all ask the questions "why?" But there is great freedom in saying "I don't need to know. I'm not the CEO. God is."

Go home this afternoon and write your resignation letter. You don't even need to be the General Manager of your own life -- nevertheless the universe. If you resign, you may have the freedom to enjoy your life. 

Ecclesiastes 8:15 "And I command joy, for man has nothing better under the Sun but to eat and drink and be joyful."

He's commanding joy! Give up trying to control. We don't know what this afternoon is going to bring. We don't know WHEN or especially WHY. 

Live here. In this moment.
