I saw a church sign the other day that said “Jesus is Lord of the impossible.” While I think this is true, this isn’t what I have trouble with. When something is impossible, I will freely hand it over and basically say “Here God, you have this. I can’t deal with it.” We’ll gladly allow God to be Lord of situations like cancer, financial ruin, failing relationships, a loved one with big problems, etc. because we have no idea what to do with them. Surely He must know, right? After all, He is the Creator. So we give those things to Him.
Where I struggle is letting Jesus be Lord of the possible – the things that arise that I feel pretty capable of managing without any input from God. When I think I have it all figured out or think that “I can handle this,” then I try to take control and be lord over that issue.
The problem with this is that Jesus needs to be Lord of EVERYTHING in our lives – the impossible AND the possible. My sinful self will manage situations to my benefit and not to what God desires…so He needs to be in control all the time.
