I was working through my blessings and almost passed over my general good health. I am healthy. I am thankful. But there is this thought in the back of my head about the other shoe dropping. What happens if next trip to the doctor reveals some crisis?
The answer is that I either believe God is in charge, or I don’t. If I do, and the other shoe drops, then I will live in confidence about how it will play out. What is the worst that could happen? I could die and go to be with Jesus.
If I don’t really believe it, I will fret and fuss. I will focus on all the possible dark clouds and really start feeling sorry for myself. It won’t matter how many promises I know, I will ignore them. Too often that is the route I find myself on.
In a spirit of thanks I will continue to trust, whatever.
