You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your
right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Meanwhile a short distance away, other team members were trying to rescue a little girl who
had fallen into a manhole in the street and was lodged near some high voltage lines. Their
greatest fear was that it would rain, which would expose the little girl to a greater risk of
electrocution. Can you see what a bind God would be in if He attempted to answer all our
prayers to control the uncontrollable?
There are some areas of life beyond our control. May we learn to step aside and let God take
the reins.
(Psalm 16.11
NRSV)
There was an interesting scene on the television program, HELP some years ago. A truck
carrying toxic radioactive material had crashed on a bridge. During the attempt to recover it, it
began to rain. "Thank God," said one of the team members. The rain would help hinder the
possible spread of contamination.
Dear God, may I let go as you lead me to the path of righteousness. Amen.
