"Shall He not exercise control over our lives and our actions? If we are threatened by the thought, we are ignorant of His purposes and wise in our own conceits. To invite His control is to safeguard our spirits from destruction. To recognize that He desires to rule over us and will do so with diligence and integrity and love is the basic requirement for activating His authoritative power in our lives. What vast blessings we forfeit when we insist on holding this power ourselves! In the final end, He will rule us anyway; but what about this present moment? Can we not benefit greatly by invoking His control in all our daily living?" --Total Love
Lately I have been realizing more and more that everything in life is under the control of God. This has made everything I experience so much more exciting. When something unexpected happens, I can rejoice that this surprise is all part of the adventure God has planned for me.

how would one go about intentionally "invoking" God's control over daily life?
What would change about the way you proceed through the day? Is it just a mental conviction, or is there some action that should follow?
I think first we must learn to be perceptive of these "mental convictions"...understanding that they come from God. Once we can do this it's easier to follow through with what God asks us to do. In some ways it's an action "do this!" and in other ways it'll be the absence of action, "you step back and just watch ME work."
