GOD'S GOT EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL!!!

Hello Friends,

Over the past couple of days, I am sure you have heard all of the concerns about gas prices. This situation really puts a hurt on ministries like THM. With gas prices rising to $3.00 per gallon it makes it tough to travel as much as we do. However, I am standing on the promises of God's Word! I can't remember exactly where it is, but the Bible says, "But God, who is faithul will not suffer us above that which ye are able."
It is my heart's desire to see others come to know Jesus before He returns. I believe if we will stay faithful to Him and share the Love of God and His Goodness with others, His Word will not return void.

As I started to work this morning I decided to drive our Maxima instead of our SUV because it is cheaper on gas and it was nearly on empty too. As I pulled up to the pump I noticed an older lady having problems pumping her gas so I helped her. She thanked me and we shared a few words about how good God is. In front of me was another gentleman with a 55 gallon barrell on the back of his truck. He was getting ready to fill that barrell up with gas when another man told him not to be greedy that other folks need gas as well and if his truck was full that should be plenty. They were still arguing as I left. When I got back on the road I remembered the words to an old song that I would like to share with you:

GOD'S GOT EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL

We read in the paper another earthquake's tore the land,
And famine is out of control;
There's fighting and dying and sin on every hand,
And where it is the mind's of men just don't know.

God's got everything under conrol,
He's still God and He's in charge of His own,
I can sleep just like a baby, I've got peace down in my soul;
And God's got everything under control.

Now your mountain's may be dark,
And your valley's oh so low,
You've come to the end of your road;
Just look up to Jesus, He is standing cose by,
And He's got everything under control.

This was a great refreshing to me as I finally got to work and realized that God is God. This world may change, people may change, gas prices may increase, but GOD'S GOT EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL and HE never will change! Through all the arguing and fighting over things that are only temporary GOD'S GOT EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL! Well the song sums it all up. God knows exactly what it takes to show this world that He is in control but the sad thing is, not everyone realizes that He is. He said, "I am God and I change not." God is more powerful than the oil reserves, the gasoline, the hurricanes, the tornadoes, the politicians including Mayors, Governors, and the President! He is the controller and when we realize that it is all about HIM and not about us then we can be used greatfully by HIM to bring others into HIS Kingdom.

There is no need to worry because, "GOD'S GOT EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL."

Pray for Jessica and I as we continue to do exactly what God has called us to do. We know that God has called us into this and gas prices, nor height nor depth can stop us from doing HIS will for our life.

Thanks in advance for your prayers and support!

Working Till He Comes,
