When bad things happen it always takes me some time to get my mind around it and put it in perspective. Tonight I was the victim of a hit and run while driving my wife's new car. Because the other driver (most likely drunk) ran (and got away) we'll have to pay the deductible out of our pocket, and be without a car while ours gets fixed.
It took a little while but I'm finally getting my mind around it all. I was in the car alone and uninjured; I could have had my family in the car. The Insurance will fix the car and make it right. The money means nothing in the long run even though the timing is bad, God will provide.
If I can't get trust God when something so meaningless happens, then how can I trust God with everything else? It's things like this that make me realize just how easy my life really is. We have a roof over our heads, we have food on the table, we have healthy wonderful children, my wife has a good job, and I have a job I love. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away... blessed is the name of the Lord.
