The
last couple of weeks have been full of life lessons causing me to grow in faith
and maturity. Many of the lessons I
would never have chosen but they came certainly with God’s permission. At times I thought I could not endure another
minute. Many times I did not want to
endure another minute. I confess to
melting down and having selfish rants.
Surprisingly there were also times of steadfastness in my faith, and
good decisions made.
So
what did I learn? The main thing I take
away from this is that God is in control, all the time. He is not out of
control for even one second. Therefore I must keep nestled into His wing of
shelter, and trust. Panic has no useful
purpose for me. It wastes my energy and
that of those around me. When I give in
to panic, I am yielding control to sin. God has better for me. So I will actively pursue the shelter of
God’s wing, and let Him carry me through the storm. He is able!
