Can you control everything? If you can, you are God. You need to be omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. Otherwise, it is impossible. If this is the case, should we not look for creator God to help us in the daily affairs of our lives. Otherwise, it would be like having at our disposal a supersonic jet to fly us across the oceans, but we choose to make our own boat and row away. Paul as he continues to write to the Philippians, talks about the need to not think highly of one self. Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. He also shares how God himself lowered himself in Jesus Christ. Philippians 2:5-7 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. Whatever issues we face, we can go to Him....
