We humans are control freaks and its more obvious when we have sound financial condition, guaranteed resource flow, commendable social status and good connections with powerful people. Even with less resources we are motivated that one day we will make it big. Positive captions like ‘believe in yourself’, ‘you can do it’, ‘you are more than enough’ assures us that we are in perfect control of our lives. Sometimes our hard work, and favorable situations also ascertain a positive result. Life keeps fluctuating between success and challenge, therefore our control over it is 10% or little more.
As humans we fail to take in the fact that we are dependent on God for our next breath. Bible likens man to a vapor. Kind Solomon who encountered immeasurable success and amassed riches beyond measure states, “I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all. Moreover, no one knows when their hour will come: As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so people are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them.”. This exposes our fragility as humans with absolutely no control and that means we need the grace and the favor of God each moment.
King David in his writing recorded in Psalms in Bible says, “the horse is prepared for the battle, but the victory is from the Lord”. We can do all the preparation but ultimately, we need the favor of God for helping us in each endeavor. We are not at the mercy of the 10% chance. We have a living God, an incarnated God who lived among men. He proved the fact that there is no challenge in this world that could destroy humans if they are rooted in the living God, Jesus Christ. The ultimate problem of human lives is death, and Jesus overcame this very thing through His death and resurrection, thereby defeating the power of death too, over us.
You don’t have to struggle with your 90% even if you are powerless. Speak to Jesus Christ who is willing to indwell in your heart. Whatever is your hopeless situation, there is hope in Christ Jesus. Acknowledge Him, receive Him and follow Him all your life. You have a hope to live here in this life and in eternity. Jesus claimed this, "because I live ye shall live also.". Do you want to know this resurrected living God who is in perfect control of your life?
