God Is in Control

When I first found out I had cancer, I remember listening to a 4-part podcast series by Ravi Zacharias called "Just Thinking." The parts are only around 13 minutes each. This one was on "Though the Fig Tree Does Not Bloom" (anyone read Habakkuk in the Old Testament--short book, powerful message?).

I remember Part 4 of the series really touched my heart, especially the part where Ravi told two stories that illustrated how God is in control of our destinies. I listened to those stories several times during those first difficult days and weeks, usually with a few tears present.

I want to share with others the two stories he told (and to remember them), so I have taken the liberty of trimming the excerpt to include only the two stories. It's about 6 minutes long--and well worth taking the time to listen. I left the identifier at the beginning to give credit where due.

To listen to the stories, you don't need to download the file--just click the download link and then open with Windows Media Player--or whatever player you use. Listen by following this link.

Also, if you want to hear the entire message--or sign up for Ravi's podcast (I listen with my iPod in the car usually), you can go to his Web site.

Isaiah 46:4
Even to your old age and gray hairs
   I am he, I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
  I will sustain you and I will rescue you.
