The more I see of life, the more I see it is filled with uncertainty and powerlessness at every turn. God is in control, but every time we attempt to snatch the reins away we don't get any farther than just swerving off course for a little while.
I have had trouble submitting to God as a married woman, and I have had trouble submitting to God as a single woman. I have trouble being patient and trusting as a married woman...and I had trouble trusting and being patient as a single woman. It seems like there is no escaping these things, somehow we are just supposed to plod forward, wrestling with him all the way, perhaps, but in the end, bowing down and worshipping, all crying Holy, Holy Holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!
Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they existed and were created.
R e v e l a t i o n 4. 11
