“That’s one crooked river, Grandfather. Look how it twists and turns. Powerful, isn’t it?”
“It appears so. But things aren't always as they seem. One flood could change the river’s course."
“But Grandfather, it seems impossible.”
“Surely does.” His eyebrow tilted.
“Remember when we drove through the mountains? You thought we were going downhill, not up?”
“Yeah. I was positive until I looked behind us.”
“Or the summer day you thought water covered the road up ahead? When we got there...”
“Dry. An optical illusion, you said. So what’s this supposed to teach me?”
“To understand the Lord Jesus is in control. When the storms of life hit with twists and turns, it appears He’s forgotten me. Not true. He’s in charge when I’m not aware of it.
“Once I learn the secret the Lord’s in control, I can rest in Him. He's got my back.”
“Do you always remember the secret?”
“You have me there, Timmy.” Grandfather chuckled. “Have to confess it's easy to forget."
“So, why is it easy to forget?”
“A good question. Probably because we tend to look at the turns in the river of life instead of trusting Him.”
Kingdom Thinking. I must remember the Lord Jesus is in control and trust in Him. He promises to love me with an everlasting love and never leave nor forsake me. He keeps His promises. How about you? Would you like to trust in Him?
