God Is Our CTRL, ALT, Delete


 
CTRL, ALT, Delete

The other day I was working on my desktop computer, and it started to act up. I thought to myself, “Okay, another virus”. I watched the little circle go around, and around, and around. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t want to purchase a new one right now, and I still had pictures from my photo business saved on it. It is also the one I use to do my printing and pictures. I said, “God, if this thing would just stop long enough for me to savage my photos”.

Then, it came to me. Press CTRL, ALT, Delete. I wondered what that would do, but I followed the prompting in my spirit. I pressed the buttons. The computer instantly stopped doing what it was doing and went back to working as normal. I looked at the computer and realized that God is like the CTRL, ALT, Delete buttons. He is in control even when we aren’t. He knows how to bring things back in line and create order where there is chaos. While we are trying so hard to figure things out, God already has the answer. He knows the ending from the beginning.

I know it is hard sometimes to let God have his way. Well, it is for me. We want to control everything. We want to be in charge of our lives. We think we know what is best for us, but we don’t. We don’t know the things that God knows. He has searched the heart of man. He knows there every thought.

So, stop trying to control everything. Give it to God. He knows how to fix our broken dreams and mend our hurts. He knows how to bring safety and security in the mist of the storms in your life. Trust in him and lean not to your own understanding. Stop staring at the computer screen wondering what to do. Call on God and He will answer you. He will bear you up lest you dash your foot against a rock.
