What is Controlling You Today?

Scripture

2 Peter 2

“…For you are a slave to whatever controls you.”

Observation

You are a slave to something. Something is controlling your life. It could be alcohol, illegal drugs, prescription medicine, pornography, sexual immorality, food, gambling, or it could be Jesus that has control of your life.
You may have let a sin slowly take control of your life and now you are a slave to that particular sin or addiction.

Everyone is a slave to something or someone. Remember…You are a slave to whatever controls you!

So this morning you and I have a choice …what will it be? Are we going to let sin and self control us today or are we going to yield control of our lives over to Jesus. The choice is ours. What choice will you make?

Application

I will allow Jesus to control my life today. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I watch the destructive power of sin in the lives of those I love. Those in my family that are allowing sin to control them. They are slaves to sin. I pray that they would be set free from the grip of sin. Help me to love them in spite of what they are doing. They have become slaves to those addictions and only by Your power will they be set free. I want You to control my life. I want to be a slave of Christ. Help me serve You today in a way that makes You smile. Help me to please You.
