Good morning everyone and welcome back to another mornings with the masters.

We devote ourselves to the Lord daily with you.

Good morning, you guys.

Good morning, indeed.

We're picking back up when your morning mercies and toys just can take it from here.

Yes, y'all, let's do it.

It says this. To think today, when your life doesn't work as planned, that it's out of control, is to forget that Jesus reigns for your sake in his glory.

What are you facing today that you wouldn't be facing if you were in control?

What are you required to deal with that you really wish you could avoid?

Where have your plans dripped like sand through your fingers?

Where would you like to take back choices and redo decisions? Where do you tend to look over the fence and wish you had someone else's life?

Where do you feel troubled, inadequate, weak, defeated, overwhelmed, alienated, or alone.

Where do thoughts of the past tend to flood you with regret,

or visions of the future make you a bit afraid?

What causes you to wish life was easier or at least a bit more

predictable? If you could change a couple of things in your life right now, what would they be? Where does it feel to you as if you're on an

amusement park ride that you never intended to be on? If you're not in one of

those moments I've described above you will be someday and you are near to someone who is.

Life in this fallen world is often very hard. This world and everything in it are not

functioning the way God intended. The brokenness of this

fallen world will enter your door and somehow alter the trajectory of your life.

In those moments it is tempting to conclude that life is all about surviving the chaos.
