Hi Blogger,
I probably don't have to tell you that this has been a miserable week for tube travellers. Thousands of people had to find other ways to get to work when one of the rails on the Jubilee line broke. Others were hampered by strikes and others by 'signal failures'.
How do we deal with the small but infuriating challenges in life? A car not starting, a phone constantly dropping calls or a broken boiler in the middle of a cold spell...!
The Christian response to things like this is supposed to be calmness and patience. I almost laugh at the fact that I just wrote that! We know it but it's just so hard to do it when things go wrong.
Perhaps this passage helps us to see things from another perspective:
Colossians 1:16,17 For by [Jesus Christ] all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, I am very sorry that I doubt your goodness to me when things continue to go wrong. Help me to trust that everything are held together by you and that it all works out for my good and your glory. Amen
