Some of us consider ourselves to be ‘control freaks.’ But all of us actually would prefer to be in control of many of the things that happen in our lives. We’d like to decide if we get the job or don’t, if we’re able to have kids or not, if tragedy skips over us, or if people like us. The list goes on. And each of us have our own. The problem is that we don’t get that kind of control. And as long as we keep assuming we need control to be happy, we’re frustrated and discouraged. We’re going to look at a very familiar passage in Scripture today, but we’re going to look at it more from Luke’s purpose than from the season to which we connect it. The story of the greatest hope of all time starts by showing us that when we are not in control, but we’ve entrusted our lives to God, He is in control to do miraculous good. Let’s see what encouragement we can take from these words today!
