We all like to be in control at some point in our lives. By nature we like going our own way and we like making our own decisions. But the Bible tells us not to trust in ourselves but to completely trust in Jehovah. The Lord Jesus came into this world to save sinners. He is the only way for salvation and we just have to put our faith in Him and the wonderful work he completed at calvary to be saved.
Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
Proverbs 3:5 “Confide in Jehovah with all thy heart, and lean not unto thine own intelligence;”
Matthew 14:25-33 “But in the fourth watch of the night he went off to them, walking on the sea. And the disciples, seeing him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, It is an apparition. And they cried out through fear. But Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Take courage; it is *I*: be not afraid. And Peter answering him said, Lord, if it be *thou*, command me to come to thee upon the waters. And he said, Come. And Peter, having descended from the ship, walked upon the waters to go to Jesus. But seeing the wind strong he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught hold of him, and says to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt? And when they had gone up into the ship, the wind fell. But those in the ship came and did homage to him, saying, Truly thou art God’s Son.”
Psalms 23:1-6 “Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside still waters. He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely, goodness and loving-kindness shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of Jehovah for the length of the days.”
