Who's in Charge? The Power of God

By Amber Ginter

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen” – Ephesians 3:20-21

In this episode, I reflect on my journey from a person who thrived on control and leadership to one who had to learn the art of surrender. My early years were marked by a desire to lead and take charge, from school projects to forming college organizations. However, after college, my perceived control began to falter as I faced numerous mental and physical health challenges, highlighting my limited power.

The concept of control can be daunting, especially when life feels chaotic. Yet, one of the greatest aspects of serving Jesus is that nothing under His sovereignty is ever truly out of control. Learning to surrender our need for control to Jesus can bring peace, much like learning to float in water. The more we struggle, the less we rest, but when we lean back and trust, we find true rest and direction.

Jesus understands our human nature and our struggles with control. He invites us to release our tight grip and trust in His strength, power, and stability. By surrendering our burdens and weaknesses to Him daily, we can experience His power at work within us, bringing peace and reassurance that He is in control.
