It was a rare event that I had argued with him. It just doesn't wasn't in me and therefore never done, at least not often and actually, that was the only time I ever did, I believe. I don't even remember what it was about. Probably he had refused to let me do something that I had wanted to.
The thing about that statement I made though is that I had no control over the fact that I had been born. And he did not either.
He had no control over how he would die many years later, of cancer. And likewise, I will have no control of that in my own life.
We used to live in the country and knew many of the farmers around us who planted their crops. Some prayed and counted on God to give them a good season, because it might look like a good season to plant, only to have the rain come and destroy much of it.
What they plucked up, was certainly out of their control.
The thing is, not everything in life is within our control. God gives us some, but ultimately most of life is under what he deems will be. Or not to be.
And so, it is good for us to consider this when we are going through the hard times in our lives.
That life and death is out of our control, as well as many other things that makes up our time on earth. And no matter what...
we need to put our trust in the One that is in control.
Thanks for coming by today, Friends.
Have a blessed day.
