Bradley has second-degree burns on his right hand and on his right foot. He also has a small portion of his right foot that is third degree. The story is long and I won’t go into it, but just know that cooking fried chicken can be dangerous. We have spent about eight hours together over the past two days talking to specialist and sitting in the emergency room. We made the most of it, but I am sure he would have rather been doing other things. Bradley and I strongly believe that God is in control of everything. As Bradley was laying in the E.R., we commented to each other how God is up to something, we just can’t see it.
Have you ever been there? Have you ever had something happen and your just not sure why? Or maybe you are going through a tough time and you can’t see how God could be up to anything at all! If you have…welcome to the club…you are not alone!
So many times in our lives, we can’t see what God is up to and definitely know that we would be doing things differently if we were in control. You are not in control…quit trying to be. God operates in a dimension and from a view that you and I have no understanding of. Not only knowing the future and the past, but being in the future and the past at the same time, gives him a little bit of an advantage!
Why are you so concerned with the here and now? What is about to happen in your day that God has not already seen? What is your feeling that he doesn’t know? What are you thinking that he isn’t listening too? Nothing…he sees it all. Today, I want to challenge you to live for the eternal and not the temporary. Put on a different set of eyes. A set that looks from your heart and sees that sometimes you don’t have to see at all to know where are going.
