So many things to discuss but since we are approaching Thanksgiving we will stick to a theme. Recently, I read a quote by Kay Arthur which states, “God is in control, and therefore in EVERYTHING I can give thanks – not because of the situation but because of the One who directs and rules over it.” I couldn’t agree more. With so much change taking place and so much driven by the emotional rather than rational in our society where does one find peace? The most grateful area of my life is knowing that when all hell breaks loose in life, God is still God and God still cares. Many may read this and say, “That’s simple minded!” Well, it maybe for you and many others today in our high society of intellectual elitism, but truth still prevails that God still cares and is ultimately still in control of life. From no matter who is the next president to no matter if I get for Christmas what I told everyone I wanted to whatever life may present us with (as we have all received unexpected, and unfortunate gifts in 2020).
In my office I have on my wall a sign that reads, “I got this!, God” It has been with me in many of my offices and many people that would see it would say, “I needed that!” I would politely respond, “I’m glad you benefited from it, but the sign is always here for me.” I need to be reminded that God’s got, not just this or that, but everything and for that I’m eternally grateful.
