Have you ever felt like you had to fight for control just to keep your world from unraveling? Whether it’s your schedule, your kids’ choices, your finances or your future, it’s easy to slip into the mindset that everything depends on you.
But in Job 41, God reminds you who really holds it all together. He talks about the Leviathan—a creature no one can tame—and uses it to show just how beyond your power some things are. Then He drops this truth: everything under heaven belongs to Him. Everything.
That means your job, your relationships, your body, your time—it’s all His. Not to take away your freedom, but to shift your focus. You’re not the owner. You’re the steward. That perspective changes everything.
You don’t have to carry the weight of controlling outcomes. You get to trust the One who already has authority over all of it. When you hold your life with open hands, you’re not giving up—you’re giving over. You’re choosing gratitude instead of entitlement. Generosity instead of grasping. Obedience instead of anxiety.
So ask yourself today—how are you living? Like it’s all yours to manage or like it’s all God’s to guide? The answer might just change your whole approach to the day ahead.
