Talk about an eye-opening read. In fact, I had to read it twice. All those things we - I - take for granted when I feel slowed down or inconvenienced. I never considered what they may be protecting me from on the outside world. I will now, how about you?
I Agree completely!!!! I had a friend complaining they were going to be late, nothing went smooth that morning as they tried to get out of the house! I quickly told them my usual response to these things, God is in control,I usually find there is a good reason I was delayed, those 5 minutes could have saved me from being n an accident..... As soon as I said this, they interupted to tell me they just pulled up on a horrible accident.... I hate being late, but when things out of MY control happen, I thank God and know He kept me from harm!
ReplyDeleteMe: God, can I ask You a question?
ReplyDeleteGod: Sure
Me: Promise You won't get mad
God: I promise
Me: Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?
God: What do u mean?
Me: Well, I woke up late
God: Yes
Me: My car took forever to start
God: Okay
Me: at lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait
God: Huummm
Me: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call
God: All right
Me: And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager & relax. BUT it wouldn't work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?
God: Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning & I had to send one of My Angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that
Me (humbled): OH
GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.
Me: (ashamed)
God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.
Me (embarrassed):Okay
God: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered.
Me (softly): I see God
God: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.
Me: I'm Sorry God
God: Don't be sorry, just learn to Trust Me.... in All things , the Good & the bad.
Me: I will trust You.
God: And don't doubt that My plan for your day is Always Better than your plan.
Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today.
God: You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I Love looking after My Children...
