THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD

Lately I have been thinking of the Sovereignty of God in all the little things that happen in our life.

Not that I don't ever think of His sovereignty; it's just that sometimes we don't think of His sovereignty in the small things.

Those things aren't necessarily any big happening. It might just be a small thing, like, waiting in line for something or maybe dealing with a tiny infraction of a small child, or your car won't start, etc.

A friend forwarded this little gem, which made me think about His Sovereignty even more:

The' LITTLE' Things~

As you might remember, the head of a company survived

9/11 because his son started kindergarten.

Another fellow was alive because it was

His turn to bring donuts.

One woman was late because her

Alarm clock didn't go off in time.

One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike

Because of an auto accident.

One of them

Missed his bus.

One spilled food on her clothes and had to take

Time to change.

One's

Car wouldn't start.

One couldn't

Get a taxi.

The one that struck me was the man

Who put on a new pair of shoes that morning,

Took the various means to get to work but before

he got there, he developed a blister on his foot.

He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid.

That is why he is alive today..

Now when I am

Stuck in traffic

,

Miss an elevator,

Turn back to answer a ringing telephone

...

All the little things that annoy me,

I think to myself,

This is exactly where

I'm meant to be

At this very moment..

Next time your morning seems to be

Going wrong

,

The children are slow getting dressed,

You can't seem to find the car keys,

You hit every traffic light,

Don't get mad or frustrated;

It may be just that

Someone is watching over you.

May you continue to be blessed with all those annoying

little things and may you remember their possible purpose.
