    God is in Control (Part 1)

    by Lois Flowers August 8, 2017
    by Lois Flowers

    As the summer I wasn’t expecting hurdles to a close, I thought it might be fitting to spend this week and next sharing some thoughts about God’s sovereignty that are as relevant today as they were 15 years ago when I first wrote them.

    When I was in elementary school, one of my Sunday school teachers taught a lesson that made a huge impression on my young mind.

    He introduced his students to some pretty lofty principles about God—namely, that He is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent.

    To this day, I remember what those words mean: that God is everywhere at once (omnipresent), all-knowing (omniscient), and all-powerful (omnipotent). Said differently, God is present everywhere, He knows everything, and He is in control of everything.

    It was a sweet, peaceful diversion during a strange, stress-filled summer. Molly was away at youth camp, and Lilly and I were busy running errands and visiting my mom at the rehab hospital. About midweek, though, we took a break from all the running around to mark something off her …

  • The Prayer That Is Changing Me

    There’s a book on my living room shelves called The Prayer that Changes Everything. Author Stormie Omartian uses this attention-grabbing title to describe a type of prayer (praise). But the name always reminds me of one specific petition that changed everything in my own life—praying “not my will, but yours …

  • A Psalm for a Hard Summer

    There are certain sections of my two-year Bible reading plan that make me extremely grateful for the book of Psalms. I believe all scripture is inspired by God and there for a reason. But at 6 o’clock on most any summer morning, Leviticus can get a bit tedious.

  • One of the Quiet Joys of Summer

    Several weeks ago, I wrote about my flowerbeds. I posted photos of special blooms and shared lessons about what my favorite garden spots were teaching me this year. Things were looking good out there, and there was no reason to think the summer wouldn’t hold many more enjoyable gardening moments.

    It was a good week away. Last Monday, the girls and I packed up and headed north to my college roommate’s farm in Iowa. It was a week of respite—five days to reconnect with dear ones and recharge our batteries for the long road ahead at home.

Welcome

Welcome

As long as we’re here on planet Earth, God has a good purpose for us. This is true no matter how old we are, what we feel on any given day or what we imagine anyone else thinks about us. It can be a struggle, though, to believe this and live like it. It requires divine strength and eternal hope. And so I write, one pilgrim to another, in an effort to encourage us both as we navigate the long walk home together.
