The newest Avenger’s movie has one of my favorite scenes: Dr. Strange uses his ability to time-warp, viewing every possible future outcome to an impossible situation. He finally states to those waiting …”In only one we survive.”
It makes me laugh because I try to do something very similar. I run through potential scenarios, as if I could possibly see the future. Then pray: “God, this must happen… or all will be lost! Disaster is sure.”
How funny (and probably annoying) this must be to Him, since He really can see the future. Better yet, He sees all the possibilities within each one. Possibilities, through His intervention for His Glory! And if I will submit to His plan we will get the most bang for the buck.
God is not at the mercy of human circumstances or situations.He always has a bigger plan and a way through the mess. Yes, He allows me to choice freely, but His overarching Will – is going to get done. I don’t need to freak out because I can’t imagine how He will do it. Nothing throws Him for a loop or takes Him by surprise. There’s no panic with Him.
And in that understanding lies total peace. I can trust that God has seen the future in every aspect and will show me the way to walk. He’s got this! He’s got me! He’s got you!
Your will be done. Today. That’s the prayer that never fails.
