       But God asks us not to be in control. He wants to be in control. Now, for those of you who didn’t have a heart attack and are still listening, we know that when we give up control, we what? Well, we give up the ability to keep ourselves secure. Oh no. Giving up our security, this is asking a lot. We have to depend on God for our security. We have to come to God fully dependent on him that he will keep us safe, he will give us what we need, he will keep our reputations secure. We can either try to control those things ourselves (and remember, we’re not really in control even when we feel like we are), or we can let God take control of those things. What does all this mean, in finishing up our discussion on grace? It means that grace doesn’t come from us. It’s not something we conjure up with our own strength or ability. It is something that we have to depend on God for.
