[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] Entrust It To God by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

If anyone had a reason to be anxious it was the apostle Paul. Envision an
old man as he gazes out the window of a Roman prison. Half-blind, squinting
just to read. Awaiting trial before the Roman emperor. His future is as
gloomy as his jail cell.

Yet to read his words, you’d think he’d just arrived at a Jamaican beach
hotel. His letter to the Philippians bears not a word of fear or complaint.
Not one! Instead, he lifts his thanks to God and calls on his readers to do
the same. “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice!” (Phil.
4:4)

Paul’s challenge is a decision deeply rooted in the confidence that God
exists, that he is in control, and that he is good. Rejoice in the Lord—
*always*! You can’t run the world, but you can entrust it to God.
