God Is In Control (5 of 7)
Series: Proverbs: Wisdom for Living

Proverbs 21
For several weeks we have been studying selected chapters in the book of Proverbs in a sermon series I’m calling, Wisdom for Living. Remember, wisdom is the supernatural ability to see life from God’s perspective. (ON SCREEN) And we need God’s perspective in every area of our lives. Today, from Proverbs 21, we are given an important principle that all of us need to remember - God Is In Control. Let’s read a few selected verses in this chapter. READ 1-3, 5, 21, 30-31 - PRAY

I don’t know if you realize this but in a home with five children, the remote control goes missing occasionally. And when it comes time to find it, the same person is responsible every single time. Do you know who that is? You probably have this person in your home as well. The person’s name is ‘‘Not Me.’’ ‘‘Kids, where’s the remote?’’ ‘‘We don’t know, dad!’’ ‘‘Well, who had it last?’’ ‘‘Not me!’’ These days, some smart television manufacturers who have developed apps you can put on your phone that control the TV exactly like a remo ...
