In God we trust

His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor His delight in the legs of the warrior; the Lord delights in those who fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love (Psalm 147: 10-11).

Technology can be so fascinating, can’t it? I mean, have you seen the latest news about this car that can parallel park all by itself? What a wonderful thing for those of us who struggle doing that! The car just takes over and backs itself into place. And then I heard someone questioning our responsibility should the car cause an accident. The “driver” wasn’t in control at the time so … how can I (and my insurance) be held accountable? Yes, new questions and wonderings come with this new concept of letting technology take control. Many of us are excited about it.

Yet, when we are asked to surrender control over to God, Who is bigger and better and wiser than man’s technology, we often aren’t excited at all. In fact, we can get downright disgruntled at having to give up control. “What? You want me to just sit here and watch Someone else do the maneuvering?”

Reminds me of the joke: $100 looks so big in the offering plate and not near enough when in the mall!

As Christians, we are asked to surrender it all to God. To trust in Him and Him alone. To remember and believe in His faithful character to know what lies ahead and know how to best handle whatever lies ahead. Kind of like letting the car maneuver into a streetside parking spot. It’s a miracle! Let God take control and perform a miracle for you!
