Speaker 1 (00:00):
I want to talk to you today about a beautiful truth.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hello, and welcome to simple man sermons, the preachings of
a simple man called by God to share the good
news of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
The beautiful truth is that God is in control. Now
we see this all throughout the Bible. I'm going to
read the passage you got me thinking about this broader topic.
While as yet He had not made the earth, or
(00:43):
the fields, or the primal dust of the world, when
he prepared the heavens, I was there when he drew
a circle on the face of the deep, when he
is established the clouds above, when he strengthened the footholds
(01:07):
of the deep, when he assigned to the sea it's
limit so that the waters would not transgress his command.
It's hard to look at nature, especially somebody that loves
(01:31):
nature and being out in wild places, in mountains and deserts,
on the sea. It's hard to comprehend the magnitude of nature.
How much harder is it to comprehend the magnitude of
(01:55):
the one who made it. In the beginning, God created
the heavens and the earth. The first sentence of your
Bible contains more magnitude, more Majesty more control than we
could ever comprehend. God is in control. He set the
(02:18):
boundaries of the waters. Just think about that. Every sea,
every lake, he sets its boundaries. Let's look at the
book of Job. Then the Lord answered Job out of
the whirlwind, and said, who is this who darkens counsel
(02:39):
by words without knowledge? Now prepare yourself like a man.
I will question you, and you shall answer me. Where
were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Tell me, if you have understanding, who determined its measurements?
(03:03):
Surely you know? Or who stretched out the line upon
it to what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid
its corner stone when the morning stars sang together and
all the suns of God shouted for joy? Or who
(03:25):
shut in the sea with doors when it burst forth
and issued from the womb? When I made the clouds
its garment and thick darkness its swaddling band, when I
fixed my limit for it and set bars and doors,
when I said, this far you may come, and no farther,
(03:50):
and here your proud waves must stop. Have you commanded
the morning since your days began? And cause the dawn
to know its place that it might take hold of
the ends of the earth. You see, we as men
(04:13):
tend to get caught up in our bubble in our life,
and I think we like to fancy ourselves a lot
more important than we are, especially if you have my
kind of personality and an alpha male type type a
(04:37):
personality take charge. And that's not entirely a bad thing.
God tells us as men to have dominion. We're supposed
to have dominion over our spheres of influence, our areas
of control. But what is that compared to God's control
(05:01):
and dominion. He made the heavens and the earth. Every
living thing is sustained by His grace, unmerited, unearned love
and kindness of God is the reason the birds can
fly through the air, and the fish can swim in
the sea, and you and I can walk this earth.
(05:24):
That is the reason, because God allows it, Because God
sustains us, because God is in control. And that's a
good and beautiful truth. We as men like to think
a lot more highly of ourselves than we should, and
I did, especially when I was younger, especially before I
became a Christian. Well, if it was only my way
(05:46):
on this, if it was only my way on that,
if only this girl cared about me the way that
I wanted him to. If only this boss saw things
the way that I want them to be, everything would
be better. There's a lot of pride in that, young
and brash thinking. Every thing should be the way that
(06:07):
you want it to be. But it shouldn't because you'd
wreck it, just like I've wrecked it. We are called
to reign in life. We are called to have dominion,
but only in so much as in the ways that
God would have control, and dominion a steward over the
(06:28):
things that He lets us be in control over, but
remembering that God is an ultimate control. And how's this
for a humbling thought. I don't care who you are.
If you think this person wouldn't be anything without me
or without me, this thing wouldn't or without me, that
thing wouldn't. One day we'll be dead. I don't care
(06:53):
how big and bad a man you are. I don't
care how strong you are, how young you are, how
old you are, how black you are, how white you are.
One day you'll be dead, and the earth will abide,
It will continue, People around you will go on. The
(07:16):
world doesn't revolve around you. The world continues and abides
by God. God created all things, and God sustains all things.
So let us be sober when we think about how
in control we really are. And that is a beautiful
(07:37):
thing to remember that God is in control because God
is all wise, all loving, all caring. He doesn't get tired,
he doesn't make mistakes. If we can set our pride
aside for a moment, can we all concede that that
is a better way. God is in control, whether you
(07:59):
believe it or not. Now you can live in a
bubble of your own artificially constructed lies, thinking that you're
in control of this thing, and you're in control of
that thing. Without you, this wouldn't and without you that
thing wouldn't, or you can deal with the truth that
(08:22):
God is in control that one day you and I
will be gone. Every knee shall bow, and every tongue
shall confess to God. One day we'll all give an
account for things done. However big and bad you think
you are. Right now, God is in control any control,
(08:43):
any power that you have, any dominion that you have,
any resources that you have, it's because God allowed it.
Without you, God would be just as much God. Without God,
you wouldn't be anything. You would have never been anything.
Without God, you can and draw a single breath, and
without God your heart wouldn't beat one more time. How's
(09:05):
that for a humbling reminder of how much we need God.
That God is in control. Would you rather live in
an artificially constructive bubble of your own lies and obscure,
obtuse worldview, or would you rather deal with the truth that,
when you come to terms with it is so beautiful,
(09:27):
so humbling, so gracious. Because of God's own divine nature
and love, we exist and abide and continue and are
sustained just like the birds of the air, sustained flying
through the air and get the seeds they need, just
like all of God's beautiful creation and systems and how
(09:49):
they work together. The beautiful truth that God is in control.
And it's good to use the influence that we have
in the dominion that we have as men to do
good things on this earth. But remember that God is
in control and seek the wisdom and knowledge of God.
(10:11):
What does God say to do? What does God say
not to do? How does God say to run this situation?
How does God say to rule? How does God say
to have dominion on the earth? Because He is ultimately
in control might choose to use us for different tasks,
and thank God for that. But he's in control. He'll
(10:33):
take you out any time he wants. He lets the
rain fall on the just and the unjust alike, but
both will answer to him one day. We had best
remember that many more things God said to Job. Shall
one who contends with the Almighty correct him? He who
(10:56):
rebukes God let him answer it. Then Joe bants the
Lord and said, behold, I am vile. What shall I
answer you? I lay my hand over my mouth. A
little bit off topic, but I would remind you that
God sustained Job. Job went through great tribulations, but God
(11:21):
blessed Job in the end more than he was blessed
in the beginning. Now the Lord blessed the latter days
of Job more than the beginning. So Job died old
and full of days. God more than restored what had
been taken away. But that's probably a teaching for another time.
We see thereafter Job was humbled, and he conceded that
God is in ultimate control. He was blessed. We don't
(11:45):
even know if Job ever understood why he went through
those trials, but we do see that Job humbled himself
before God and admitted that God was in control and
that God was so mighty and so powerful. Who was
he to question God? And he was blessed. I believe
(12:06):
it is a great blessing for us all to come
to terms with the fact that God is in control,
because it is the truth, and you're better off dealing
with the truth than basking and a lie. God knows
the hairs on your head. The Bible says from the
Gospel of John, I am the good shepherd. I know
(12:33):
my sheep, and am known by my own as the
Father knows me. Even so I know the Father, and
I lay down my life for the sheep and other
sheep I have which are not of this fold. Them
also I must bring, and they will hear my voice,
and there will be one flock and one shepherd. Therefore,
(12:58):
my Father loves me because I laid on my life
that I may take it again. No one takes it
from me, but I lay it down of myself. I
have the power to lay it down, and I have
the power to take it again. This command I have
received from my Father. It continues on about a division
amongst the Jews. A little bit farther down, it says
(13:20):
my sheep. Hear my voice, and I know them, and
they follow me, and I give them eternal life, and
they shall never perish. Neither shall anyone snatch them out
of my hand. My father, who has given them to me,
is greater than all, and no one is able to
(13:44):
snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and my
Father are one. God is in control. Christ is in control.
He was led to the cross, he went willingly. We
see in this passage he had the power to lay
(14:07):
his life down and he had the power to take
it up again. He is in control period. I would submit.
The proper and right thing to do is to submit
to God's control willingly, because He's in control. Either way.
(14:30):
Trust him, Trust God the Father, Trust God the Son.
He is in control. Let him be in control of
your life. Let him be in control of your way
of life, how you live, what you do. One day
(14:52):
we'll all answer to him. Why if you don't want
God in control of you? Now? Would he forced you
to be under His control for all time and eternity
in heaven? If you separate yourself from God? Now, what
is hell but eternal separation from God? That you choose willingly?
(15:17):
Submit to God. Let him be in control. Go to
him his power, his might. It is God that sustains us.
It's a beautiful thing, and we do well to remember that.
In the Book of Romans, for since the creation of
(15:39):
the world, his invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood
by the things that are made, even his eternal power
and Godhead. So they are without excuse, for it is written.
The fool says in his heart there is no God.
(15:59):
Look around you can clearly see the hand of the Creator.
He is in control. Submit to him. He is a
good shepherd. Thanks for listening, and have a blessed day.
I want to talk to you today about a beautiful truth.
