15, 16, 17

Ps Mark's sermon 28th Feb, SNL

15. Don't worry
16. Don't judge
17. Don't quit

We try to control situations, and when we can't control situations (which is always the case), we worry.
We try to control people, and when we can't control people (which is always the case), we judge. Except when we judge others, we judge ourselves even more. And that is a miserable direction to grow, for bitterness to take root.
When we find we can't control people nor control situations (which is always the case), we quit. But if we would let God take control of the situation and let him take control of the people (leaving the worrying and judging to Him), then we can be happily serving, remaining faithful and blessed in the process.

How wonderful!
