I have watched with horror the developing news story of the earthquake and ensuing tsunamis in Japan. The destruction to people and property is enormous. The effects of this will be far-reaching – and people all over the world are praying for the victims. I am waiting word that our recent visitors from Japan are safe. And I believe with all my heart that even though it seems that the very crux of our world is literally falling apart at the seams, God is still on His throne, and still in control. I may not understand the why – but I trust the WHO!
As humans, we have no control over things like earthquakes, or tsunamis, or natural disasters. We have no control over choices that other people make. There really is very little we CAN control, and even then, we often do not dominate what we should and could.
“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ…” (Titus 2:11-13, NIV)
A quick update on the “pants on the ground” – last night as I was changing for yoga class, I did an experiment. I was able to take those jeans off without unbuttoning or unzipping them. I will not be wearing them again.
