He's got the whole world in His hands

I used to sing that song growing up in Sunday school and VBS and I guess I never really thought about what that really meant for me. My Creator, has the whole world in His hands. He has my hopes, fears, desires, and future plans in His hands. He holds the birds, butterflies, bees and bears in His strong and mighty hands. He has got it under control...
I often say that "I've got it under control" when, someone comes up to me with concerned eyes in the middle of chaos. Most of the time it is me telling them that I've got it under control, to try to fool myself into thinking I've got it under control (if that makes sense), but how much more does God have things under control when we come to him with worried eyes, in the middle of chaos... Our Father is faithful and speaks the truth.
This weekend, I went home to visit my family and I also had the chance to visit a family that I babysat for this past summer. When I babysat for them, the boys where only 4 months (now they are working on taking their first steps... craziness). But I remember when I would watch them and they would start to get fussy. Sometimes all they needed was a bottle, sleep or a changed diaper, but most of the time, all they wanted was just for me to hold them. Somehow being in my hands was comfort enough.
And so, I come to my Father who has the whole world in His hands. Asking Him for continued peace for this summer's plans, motivation to do school work, and patience in relationships. He has got it under control.
In His hands,
Monica
