- Sometimes we think we have life handled, but often we really aren't handling anything. In this excerpt from Beth Moore's talk at Women's Leadership Forum in 2017, Beth uses an illustration involving her love with coffee to explain how we're really not holding onto anything by ourselves at all.
Beth Moore is an author and Bible teacher of bestselling Bible studies and books for women, including The Quest, Entrusted, Children of the Day, and many more.

A couple of days ago such an odd thing happened to me. I had gotten up for my quiet time. I like to get up while it's still dark outside. I love that. I love that feeling. There's something about there being no light anywhere outside. No other distraction. I can just be right in it, right here. And the only light is just the light over my head and the light of the scriptures. I absolutely love that.
I'm a very, very serious coffee drinker. I'm very, very intense about my coffee. I think about my coffee when I go bed at night. I look forward to it. Sometimes when I know I've got a short night ahead, I don't think to myself, "Man, I only have five hours of sleep." How I make myself feel better is, "In five hours, you're drinking coffee." I mean, like, short night means it won't be long. It will not be long.
The first thing I do is I always go and turn on my coffee maker. Then I hit the floor, get started in prayer. Then I make it to my table and then Jesus and I start doing the thing that we do.
But that particular morning, I had just gotten in the mood for some French press. Now I have three different coffee makers. And I had decided, I want some French press this morning.
...
So four minutes from boiling, I pour myself a cup of coffee. I'm real, real weird about my coffee cup. You know, I'm just obsessive compulsive about almost everything. So I get this all ready to go and I pour my cup of coffee. I sit it down. And I pick it up. I'm at a table like this at my kitchen bar like this. I'm in my pajamas and I pick it up like this. And when I do the entire cup falls into my lap and every bit of that hot coffee goes all over me.
Here's what I need you to understand, this is the cup, right here. I am still holding the handle in my hand. It was so shocking, I could not get my mind to wrap around what had just happened. I'm still holding the handle. The cup is on my lap and it has spilled all over me. I mean, it's spilled on those pages. It splashes up on my Bible. And all I can do is sit because I can't let go of the handle. I don't know why. I can't let it go. I just keep going, "Maaaaahh. Agghh. Aaaaahh.” All manner of animal sound. It was the most shocking thing.
And I thought to myself, isn't this us? We're just going like, "I can handle it", but there ain't nothing on the other side of the handle. We think we're handlin' our family. We're handlin' it. I'm handlin' it. I'm the one. I'm the handler. I got this handled. Look to me. I can handle it.
What we don't know is, there ain't nothing there. There ain't nothing there.
We're going to have handle on all this. We've got a handle on our marriage. We're going to have a handle on all of it. We've got a handle on our friendships. We've got a handle on our church. No we don't. There ain't nothing there. Because we ain't handlin' nothing. The only way that we know that we think we are, until that thing drops on our lap and spills hot coffee all over us. Then it's like, all you got left is a tiny, tiny, tiny, little handle. That's it. That's it. What are we going to do with that?

Thank you Beth Moore for always being so real.
The whole point is: We think we have more control over ourselves, situations and life circumstances than God has. A true believer knows God is at the helm of his ship (life). It is God's power not our own. Have peace in God, stay close to Him & His Word. 💕🙏💕
I like her.
Is there a link anywhere to the entire sermon?
Can you handle it? :) Hear-here: czcams.com/video/WeJLnDJKzy0/video.html
1 Timothy 2:12-14 (NET) But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man. She must remain quiet.
For Adam was formed first and then Eve.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman, because she was fully deceived, fell into transgression.
Wow. Wake up. So don't listen to a woman. Did you listen to your Mom? Did she teach you anything? Did you have a female teacher in school? Did you learn anything from them? You have a right to your opinion, but at least let us women listen without your unkind criticism.
I have learned so much from her. And many young women that work in our ministry also.
So a man is irritated by a woman speaking at a women's conference. Doesn't go against 1 Timothy does it.
What was the point of this video??
So basically, her idol is coffee. How sad! Where is the Word of God!?!?!?
She's extremely irritating
@@kwpp7 then why watch?
Hun, you can't be serious. Stop picking on your fellow Sister in Christ. Not a big deal that she likes coffee. She has led many women to Jesus. If the truth has set you free, what are you doing for others?
