Sometimes it happens!I guess you could say it was a "test".This afternoon, all in the span of a half-an-hour, all sorts of things just "happened". 1)...our son ran his scooter into the water-weight section of the driveway basketball hoop and it sprang a leak going down the street... 2)...while trying to move the basketball hoop to a safe place (where it wouldn't topple over, since the water was leaking out), my dear husband and son scratched our van... 3)...as we were about to prepare dinner, we found our dishwasher had been unresponsive, and so I had the task of trying to figure out if we were still under warranty, finding receipts, numbers, etc. All of this happened during one of the busiest times of the day, when we pick up people and fix dinner and generally everything is topsy-turvy. It seems like the devil knew just where to hit us. Nothing super-tragic, nothing life-shattering, just a lot of little nuisances all at once. It exposed me, and it humbled me. What does it tell me? I don't just need Jesus a little bit, like butter on my bread, but I need Him desperately, every minute of every day. He is my bread, the Bread of Life. It is so easy to forget, so easy to feel smug or competent, but then He turns everything upside-down in turmoil just so that we don't miss out on the greatest blessing--Himself. Life is messy--got Jesus? Leave a Comment { Last Page } { Page 45 of 84 } { Next Page } |
