I am about to put on my sandals and head out the door into a situation that I have never faced. Today brings about another level of dependence. This morning is Carson's surgery. I want to stress that this is a very simple surgery. It will only last about 30 minutes and she will be getting back to normal by tomorrow. I think the thing that scares me the most is that it is out of my control. I am praying for the doctor this morning. I am asking God to protect my little girl. However, it is apparent that I have no control over the events of today.
The choice I do have is how I react to the events of today. You have that choice as well. Here in a moment I will turn to the book of Colossians, which I am reading write now, and begin a process of dying to my selfish desires and myself. That is the only hope I have today. It is the only hope for my responses to the things I can't control. It is my only hope to become less like me and more like Jesus.
Instead of fighting for complete control over things you can't control. I pray that you will depend on God. I hope that He will soften your heart and rule your reactions. As you walk into things that you can't control, I pray that you will walk with God.
God is good.
