6/15/11 My breath prayer for the day comes from Psalm 8:1, O LORD, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. I like to pretend that I am in control. I don't think I am unique in this feeling. We go through life, setting appointments, making plans, creating schedules, as if we were in the driver's seat. But we are not.
Cathy and I have a little condo in Corpus Christi that we have been remodeling. It has endured 6 years of renting by college students. As we began the remodeling project, we have been blessed to find workmen right next door that could do the flooring...and then the replacement of the bathroom vanities....and then the plumbing. Sometimes not being in control feels like God is watching out for you before you even know it. Not being in control also feels the opposite, like yesterday, when after a lot of hard work and we thought the unit was ready to go again, we got a call that we had a leak, and that our downstairs neighbors condo had water damage. OUch! Cathy made a quick trip to Corpus to take care of it.
Only God is Sovereign. The psalmist realizes this in the majesty of creation....that he has no control over. That's one of the reasons I walk in the early morning in the midst of trees, and creek, and a pair of foxes yesterday morning, and rising sun, and scurrying clouds...to remember that God is sovereign Lord.
Love,
Lynn
