Thanks for all of you who prayed for me with my latest back episode. I had done pretty well for quite awhile, so I was surprised by the suddenness and randomness of this last one. In the past when this has happened, I have fought against this ailment and argued with God for letting this happen to me. This time I thought of Psalm 31:15- "My times are in your hands,"(trust me --this thought had to come from God!) and this became my breath prayer. Physically it was not easier, but mentally and emotionally --- it was.
We want to control our lives and yet what do we really control? In fact, we are utterly dependent upon God! Trusting or doubting? It's pretty simple, hard but simple--James 1 from our Bible reading last week -we find the consequences of failing to trust--vs 6 "...because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind."
