We often live under the illusion of control, convinced that we can direct our lives by our own will, yet Scripture shows this pursuit always ends in loss, frustration, and even destruction. From Adam and Eve to Job, Esau, and Paul, the Bible reveals that true peace and maturity come not through grasping for control but through surrendering to God’s will. The greatest freedom we can ever know is found not in self-rule, but in faithfully, humbly following the Father’s lead.
