Power & Authority which is better?

Most of us have been in situations where we have witnessed poor leadership and thought things would be better if we were in control. We would have to admit, however, that in the situations where we were in control, things didn’t always turn out the way we hoped. The fact is, we are never in complete control of everything in our lives. The only One who is in complete control of everything is God, and He is working out all things according to His good pleasure, which includes shaping His people for His purposes.
