“This has all gone wrong.”
I had this thought cross my mind this past week as I had to cancel a bunch of plans to care for a sick kid.
The canceled plans and demolished routines snowballed into an impossibly messy house, missed work deadlines, and little time to myself.
The week just fell apart.
Have you ever thought this before?
“This has all gone wrong.”
There have been a few, much more serious times in my life when I’ve thought this, too.
But what I’ve learned is one of the most comforting, eternal truths:
“All flesh is in my hands, and I will do as seemeth me good.” (Moses 6:32)
God is in control.
And if God is in control, nothing is going to “go wrong” from an eternal perspective.
Now, don’t misunderstand: I’ve learned this does NOT mean that nothing will ever “go wrong” in my life. Medical diagnoses, lost jobs, broken relationships… these tragic twists still come.
But in the grand, eternal scheme of things, God isn’t letting any little decision I make, any sickness, any bump in the road throw a wrench into any of His plans.
God can do anything at any time.
So if I believe that, then how can I change my perspective right now?
“If I give this all to God, nothing can go wrong.”
Nothing goes wrong when I give it to God.
And it feels SO much better to think this way.
He’s got my back.
Nothing can go wrong.
Happy Studying!
