It's Always Something!

Have you ever thought that? "It's always something!" Murphy is supposed to have said that, "If anything can go wrong it will go wrong." It's been repeated so much people now call it a law - Murphy's Law.

Does life really seem like that? Or, is it just our limited perspective of what occurs in, to and around us. My guess is that the problem is in us - in me. I don't see far enough. I don't see deep enough. I can't understand all that's going on and that keeps me from believing that the things that happen are part of a plan being worked out according to His perfect will. If God is able "to do abundantly above all we ask or imagine," and make "all things work together for good for those who love him," then He is able to take those small - or large - things and use them for us and not against us. God help me to have your perspective.

We just heard that the legislation to bring new controls and restrictions on religious practice that was pending has passed and awaits the President's signature. We will have to do much work to discover how God wants us to proceed from this point. We're believing that this didn't come as a surprise to Him and that he already has a plan for us. We just have to discover it.

Usually, when we hear that expression, "It's always something!" it's used in a way that indicates some bad thing happened. For God's child we could/should be using that for the way God blesses us. "It's always something" could mean something good. PTL!
