Right now you may be thinking. Hey, I thought God is in charge. Both statements are true. Let me explain.
God is the creator of the universe and everything in it. Nothing exists or moves without God allowing it. God not only made it, He allows events according to His will and plan.
satan and his band of followers roam the Earth, trying their best to stop God and His plan for us. They made a choice, and they lost Heaven. Since then they've tried to keep people from God with lies, deceit, and all manner of other things.
1 Peter 5:8, Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
James 4 :7 therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
It appears to many people that satan is in charge because of all the evil in the world. satan's greatest deception is making sin look desirable, and is hiding the fact that his way leads to eternal destruction. If you don't know what the Bible says, you are in great danger.
The other part, where you are in control. You get to decide who you will follow, God or satan. God will allow whatever you choose. Realize this absolute fact. How you live is decided by you. Where you spend eternity is decided by you. The quality of your life and that of your family is decided by you. In case you didn't know it, God wants the best for you, while satan wants your total Destruction. Who you follow determines just how your life goes. When you choose satan, God is not damning you, you are. Decisions have consequences for good or bad. Seems like a no brainer, don’t you think? God bless you and your family.
Praise The Lord!
Remember Jesus loves you.
Prayer of Salvation.
