Proverbs 7:9
In the cartoon, Peanuts, Snoopy always began his stories on the old manual typewriter in a similar manner to the verse above. The story always started out grim with little chance for success. Isn't our life the same? Often times, we view our challenges and trials with little hope being seen.
And yet, for those of us fortunate to receive God's grace, we can see the silver lining. For we know who is in control not only of our life's challenges but the whole world and every individual in the world. Never once, have I read in the Bible where he was overwhelmed or too busy to care for us. In fact, Jesus promises us that he not only has time for our trials, but also cares for the fowls of the air (Matthew 6:25-26).
I encourage you to pause today and thank God for being in control. Can you even imagine the chaos if we were in charge?
