My sister forwarded the following to me in an email. I have no idea who wrote this but it's pretty spot on, I think, of just all that God is doing for us behind the scenes and how we should view every single thing that happens to us throughout the day.
Me: God, can I ask
you a question?
God: Sure.
Me: Promise you
won't get mad.
God: I promise.
Me: Why did you let
so much stuff happen to me today?
God: What do you
mean?
Me: Well, I woke up
late.
God: Yes.
Me: My car took
forever to start.
God: Okay.
Me: At lunch they
made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait.
God: Huummm.
Me: On the way home,
my phone went dead, just as I picked up a call.
God: All right.
Me: And on top of it
all, when I got home I just wanted to soak my feet in my new foot massager and
relax, but it wouldn't work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did you do
that?
God: Let me see, the
Death Angel was at your bed this morning and I had to send one of the other
angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that.
Me: (humbled):
OH...
God: I didn't let
your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have
hit you if you were on the road.
Me: (ashamed)
God: The first
person who made your sandwich today was sick and I didn't want
you to catch
what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.
Me: (embarrassed):
Ok...
God: Your phone went
dead because the person that was calling was going to give false witness about
what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be
covered.
Me: (softly) I see
God.
God: Oh and that
foot massager, it had a short that was going to shut down all of the power in
your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.
Me: I'm sorry
God.
God: Don't be sorry,
just learn to trust me.....in all things, the good and the bad.
Me: I will trust
you.
God: And don't doubt
that my plan for your day is always better than your plan.
Me: I won't God. And
let me just tell you God, thank you for everything today.
God: You're welcome
child. It was just another day being your God, and I love looking after my
children.
Kind of makes you feel like giving Him a big, embarrassed, "I'm sorry!", right?!
"Oh for grace to trust Him more!"
