This morning did not go well at all; in fact, it went badly on a number of levels, and I’m already feeling frazzled. I’m hanging on hard to the truth that God is in charge, command, and control at every point and in every circumstance, and that even in my bad mornings, he’s at work for—among other things—my good. There is nothing that may go wrong in my eyes that is beyond his power to use, repair, or redeem; and his plans and his understanding are greater than mine, and he sees what will be when I can only see what is not. The Lord gives, the Lord takes away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
Just read your post and hope today finds you better.
I also pray that today or at sometime you’ll see the validity and power of your faith. In an old movie, Ladyhawk Matthew Broderick’s character has to break back INTO an prison from where he escaped. In one of his ongoing conversations with God he says, “Lord. I would like to think there is some higher meaning in this. It certainly would reflect well on You.”
It’s a line I’ve often thought and sometimes even prayed.
Peace

Yes, though I wouldn’t say today was wonderful; thank you, and thanks for your prayers.
(I should note that my wife is quite fond of Ladyhawke. 🙂 )
