I was at my daughter’s not long ago enjoying supper. I had
just loaded up my fork and was balancing the oversized bite on the way to my
waiting mouth. But I had
miscalculated. Too much food or too
small of a fork. I began to lose control
of the load, so I moved faster towards my mouth. A rookie move. I should have known better. The wonderful morsel rolled off of the fork and
fell onto the floor. I was contemplating
the “five second rule,” but I had three problems: first, the food was too gooey
and splatted on the floor when it landed.
Second, everyone had seen me drop it.
And third, Sophie’s little dog, Rosy was already enjoying my
mishap. As my emotions sank, Rosie’s
emotions went up. My disaster was her
delight. Hey, that’s how my life
is. God uses a disaster to accomplish His
perfect will. He sees the end from the
beginning. My loving heavenly Father
will turn my tragedy into His delight.
God knows what He is about, and He is working everything for my good and
for His glory. I am so glad God is in
control. Yes, He is. Paul said it best in Romans 8:28, “And we
know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who
are the called according to his purpose.”
