If I Ran the World…

…Just think about it…it’s such a perfect plan.

…There are 168 hours in a week.  Every week.  All summer long.

…A lot can happen during those hours.  Most people work 40 hours during the week.  Most people sleep at least 50 hours during the week.  We have games and practices to attend with the kids. We have chores to do at home – mowing the grass, weeding the garden, cleaning the garage – that all take time.  And mostly during those intervals, we really don’t care what the weather does.  In fact sometimes, we’re GLAD when it rains during the week and we get a reprieve from scheduled work / activities.  For the most part – we can adjust to a little rain.

But if I ran the world, it would NEVER, EVER rain on a Friday or Saturday night!  Think about it…it can rain any day of the week from midnight– 3:00 AM. In fact, it can rain EVERY day of the week, April through September, midnight to 3:00 AM.  Who would care – in fact, who would even know?!  Lakes and rivers would be refreshed, the grass would get watered, we’d get to go racing every week-end all summer long and never once worry about the weather. Isn’t that a great plan!? Yep, that’s exactly how it would happen if I ran the world.

Interestingly however, no one consults me regarding running the world or controlling the weather.  In fact, God even lets us know why He’s chosen to remain in charge.  Evidently the Lord thinks He knows exactly what we need and when.  And, to tell you the truth, I take great comfort in that.  It takes the pressure off.  The stress isn’t on me – it’s on Him – and we can completely trust Him with it all!

Check out this verse from Isaiah, Chapter 55…

8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the LORD.

9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Or how about this one from Jeremiah 29…

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Worried about rain this week-end? Well, just realize that if it comes, a loving God is behind it and He’s promised to work it all out for your good!
