I like to be happy! I do my best to order my life in such a way as to make myself & the people in my life happy. The problem with this approach is that I often get angry when my plans go awry. Happiness is a great gift, but only so long as I submit to God's ultimate control over my days. I was pondering this recently when my plans for a day got rearranged. It just hit me that God ordered that day for me long before I was even born! And He is using that change of plans, and the sin that often surfaces to make me more like my Savior.
O LORD, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am! Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah
Psalms 39:4-5
