What can we see

I thought lately about all the things we depend on - but we do not actually see.
Air - we breathe - so necessary
electricity - we only see the result of it's power
we can't even see love or friendship or the feelings we have,
we only see what they cause to happen.

God is unseen to most of us, he's unheard and just there. We call out - up to the sky he made and expect him to respond.

We put him in a box, like he can be contained or predicted. Wow - we limit what is so powerful we can only dream of understanding a fraction of his plans.

I have faith that his plans are well formed, because he holds the whole book, we see each page, each day, unfold. And we would not even want to see tomorrow. It could bring such sadness or happiness that we would want to play today or tomorrow over a thousand times, but God doesn't allow that.

He says not to worry, not to fret, that he cares for the birds in the trees and the flowers are beautiful, and that tomorrow is promised to none of us.

And yet we plan, we fret, we try to control.

I sat the olther day with a man that said he fully controls his world and that I was now entering into it with my talk of this Lord that was King. All I could think of was the saying that we sought wisdom and became fools.

You are not in Control, God is.
He is the King, we are the servants.
and Jesus took it even farther and said we are his friends, it doesn't get much better than that.
