I have the mistaken idea that I can control far more than I can. But when it comes down to it, what factors can we control other than our response to events. We can plan and predict, which are needed skills, but we need to be prepared for the unexpected. Events plus our Response equal Opportunities to see the Kingdom at work. To be vigilant, anticipating God at work, is a skill that we are always in training to perfect yet being relaxed in the fact that He is in charge, not us, is an equally trainable skill.
“No matter if you are experiencing fears, gut wrenching pain and loss or thundering beauty, adventure, and joy... I pray you will be ambushed by the presence of Jesus today and be awakened to a greater fullness of your calling in this world and the world to come. 2 Cor. 4:7 “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves; we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.” - Michael Sprague
