Control

The world is sad.

The unrest and disasters happening one after another, or rather, side-by-side, have led many to believe that indeed the world will end in 2012.

Well, maybe it does.

Does it really help to panic?

Instead of panicking, I would rather concentrate on believing that God is in control. He is also very much in love with us.

I remember two incidents where He spared the world because of two people (i.e. Noah and Moses) in two incidents.

It does require that people stop ignoring Him.  We have all become too "self-reliant" and we forget that none of this can be controlled by us.

We can say we control our own time. But can we really control it? Can we have power over the day when a flood suddenly decides to sweep us off our feet while we are on our busy way following our schedule?

Life is not really ours to control.  Maybe it is ours to manage but being altogether dominant over it is not what I believe in.

So, instead of panicking, I would rather put my hands together and pray.
