Taken from a recent writing by Max Lucado and his book "Tame Your Thoughts".

It's titled "Christ Runs the Show". We might not always like the way things are going. But we have two choices:  let Christ run the show; or let us run the show. I choose to let (and believe) Christ 'runs the show'. He does a better job!

CHRIST RUNS THE SHOW

"'God raised Christ from death and set him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything.' (Ephesians 1:20-22 MSG).

"Christ runs the show. He has authority over the world, and he has authority over your world. Your date of birth, your date of death. Your mood swings, sleep patterns, eating habits, your salary. He’s never surprised, he’s never caught off guard. He’s never ever uttered the phrase,  'Now how did that happen?;

"Uproot your fear of pandemonium and replant the assuring promise: 'God makes everything work out according to his plan.' (Ephesians 1:11 NLT)."
