It’s amazing, scripture has all the answers I need and sometimes I fail to recognize the truth. There’s an old story about a man drowning, pleading with God to save Him. The guy dies. When he gets to heaven, he asks God, ‘why didn’t you try to save me’? God says ‘I sent the boat and the helicopter.’ This rings true in my life a lot. Why do I insist on things be done my way? My thoughts are but a small speck in God’s infinite wisdom and possibilities. Failure is not falling down, but staying down. Thank God He has the patience to see me stand back up. And thank God for the ‘boat’ and ‘helicoptor’!
