It is not easy to believe God is in control when the fallen state of the world is so evident. Earlier this week I was in Denver talking about how God’s mission is restoring things back to way they were before sin entered the world. Well fast-forward. Thursday I watch paramedics trying to restore life. I am not sure if they were successful. Please pray for Jan. Now I just found out that someone in our church succumbed to depression. Life is short. How are we investing it? Through these experiences God is showing me how I passively lead both in my family and in ministry. Do I really care about anyone else, or just when I need something from them? This is the real question of commission. Do I love God or do I use God. Do I love people or do I use people.
I have to trust that God is in control of these situations. I have to believe he has a plan. I now have to wait to see how He is going to get glory through these tough times. I may never see it on this earth, but I have to trust that it will happen.
