While you’re making other plans…
So, yeah, I confess… I’m something of a control freak. To give my attitude the best spin, I could say it’s because I’m “disciplined” and like to map out my time.
But that’s not the reality.
Truth is, I like to be in control because it makes me feel powerful and secure. The heart issue is that I’m looking for security in something other than God. So, it’s idolatry, not discipline.
If you like to be in control of your circumstances, then you know what interruptions are like. They’re frustrating. They get in the way of your plan. They need to be avoided or discarded or dealt with as soon as possible so you can get back to being in control, right?
Wrong.
