11 Reasons Why You Should Let God take Control
1. You Cannot Always Help Yourself Anyway
King David, the great king of Israel anointed of God to do battles for the Lord, a man who never lost any battle was confronted with a situation in his life that was beyond him at the time.
His son, Absalom had just being killed by Joab, one of David’s top generals (against the king’s wish and command that Absalom should not be killed).
The king could not hold himself when he heard of the death of his son.
In the midst of the king’s anguish and sorrow, Joab shut him down and even threatened to take his life if he does not co-operate and stop being sober for the death of his son Absalom.
David was helpless.
He couldn’t do nothing to help himself at the time.
He quickly braced up and start acting as though everything was fine, that way, letting God take control. (See 2 Samuel 18:1-19:1-7)
