The comfort of the sovereignty of God…
So I’m sitting in a motel room in Missouri, preparing for an Our Father’s World Seminar in Manhattan, Kansas. Everything is ready. A lot of people have been doing a lot of work for many months to make this event happen. Tomorrow I’ll pull into town, check out the venue, work with my friends and local coordinators Robynn and Lowell Bliss to set up tables, and wait for people to come…
Um, maybe. A late spring snow storm has blizzard (that’s right, BLIZZARD) warnings being posted throughout the central plains, apparently including Manhattan. So what’s a poor seminar speaker to do?
Relax. People will come – or they won’t. The world will go on regardless.
Enjoy the unusual feeling that comes from watching our civilisation’s machinery grind to a halt. If we stopped ourselves a bit more often, maybe God wouldn’t have to take these steps to remind us of what is really important in life…
Be thankful you threw in your winter coat. [...even though you forgot the boots & gloves.]
And remember – no, not strong enough: REJOICE in the confidence that God is in control and he knows what he’s doing.
The doctrine of God’s sovereignty is a wonderful thing!
Cheers!
