Laughing Jesus by Robert Wilson, Sr.
I don’t know about you, but I used to love to make things happen. I thought of myself as a mover and shaker. I’d get an idea, figure out a way to do it, and then fill with pride at my ability. If I set my mind to it, I was sure I could make it happen!
But as I’ve gotten older (and hopefully wiser!), I’ve discovered that’s not the best way to live life. Believe me, that’s not to say I never fall back into my old habits, but I am confident in this one thing:
I’m no longer confident in my ability or my wisdom in trying to make things happen. It’s a lose-lose situation.
As my hair gets grayer and thinner and my skin gets wrinklier and droopier, my heart gets calmer and more satisfied that God’s got it all under control.
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” Isaiah 30:21 (NIV)
Oh, that you and I will hear His voice . . . and then walk in it.
I pray God’s blessing on the work of your hands and your hearts,
Vonda
