The best things in my life are those that are beyond my control where I can begin to see God at work in that situation.

As soon as she was inside and got dried off a little bit, the rain
stopped, the clouds faded away and the sun was shining. She looked out 
and with a big smile on her face said, “Finally, this rain is over.” 

She got outside, got the lawn mower out and ready to go and was mowing
for five minutes and as I watched I could see that smile on her face. 
Nothing she enjoys more than riding that lawnmower and making the lawn 
look beautiful. 

Suddenly, I heard thunder in the distance and then came the rain. 

As quickly as possible, she put the lawnmower away and ran inside
dripping with rain. I did my best to get out of her way because this 
was not one of her “Happy Moods.” 

For the rest of the day she was working in her craft room and I heard
her under her breath say, “Rain, rain go away and never come back any 
other day.” I sympathize with her because the rain had kept me from 
doing some things I wanted to do. 

If rain is the only thing my wife cannot control she is a very lucky
person. I, for instance, cannot control very many things in my life. I 
would like to, but it just is not in the cards for me. 

I cannot imagine Noah sitting in that ark for over a year not being able
to control anything. That is the essence of what faith is all about. If 
I can control a situation, why do I need God? 

I need to exchange my pride for faith in God. It reminds me of one of my
favorite Bible verses. “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and 
lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, 
and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6). 

The best things in my life are those that are beyond my control where I
can begin to see God at work in that situation.
