Spurgeon once said that even a speck of dust cannot move unless God wants it to. God is in sovereign control of all he has made and of all the details of our lives. “Whatever the Lord pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps.” (Psalm 135:6).
So in a nutshell, whatever happen to you - God knows and He is in full control. Since nothing happens out of His will and plan, every day events that seems out of control to me are actually in God's control.
Lamentations 3:37–38 says, “Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it? Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come?” Jerry Bridges comments on this passage, “God is in control of every circumstance and every event of our lives, and he uses them, often in some mysterious way, to change us more into the likeness of Christ”
Here is the truth : All things happen for a reason : to change us to be more like Christ.
So when things doesn't move along well and becomes challenging it is an opportunity for me to trust him — to obey, to learn, to grow, to rely more on his grace. Life doesn’t feel out of control if we know Who is in control. We can trust and rest in God’s sovereignty, knowing that he is using our every stress for our transformation and his glory.
