An Observation

Excuse me for interrupting this series of vignettes from a precocious little dog but I believe an observation is warranted here.

Aren't we all like Penny? Who are we to think we are in control?

Penny thinks she is the one who is really in charge. She is a dog. She really isn't in charge. It's all just an illusion. From her perspective she seems to be...but she isn't.

Don't we all act that way with God. Our relationship to Him is similar to Penny's relationship to us. We think that we are the captain of our ship, the master of our soul and that we are really in control. We run our errands and make our plans for tomorrow. This all gives us the illusion of control.

Don't deceive yourself. God is sovereign. He is in charge. Not a bird falls to the ground without Him knowing. He controls the reach of the ocean. Whatever He brings into your life, it is in His plan.

Humble yourself and trust Him.

Now back to our regularly scheduled...dog.
