Toast? Not Toast?

Philippians 4:6-7

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

A family had put their grandma on her first plane flight, but she hadn’t been very confident about the experience of leaving the ground on this contraption. When they met her at the airport on her return, one of the family members kidded her by asking, “Well, did the plane hold you up okay?” She grudgingly replied, “Well, yes,” and then quickly added, “But I never did put my full weight down on it!”

There are so many Christians who have yet to put the full weight of their troubles on God’s promises. Just like that grandma, they hold something back, they just can’t fully believe God either can help, or is willing to help.

I have told my churches for years either God is in control, or he’s not. If He’s in control, we’re going to be fine. If He’s not, we’re all toast!

Where do you stand on the toast/not toast issue? Do you believe God is truly in control? If so, take your cares to Him, and leave them there. He is faithful, ant only is He able to help, he is willing to help.

If you don’t truly believe God is in control, may I suggest some nice butter and orange marmalade for your issues?
