Imperfect perfection

Luke 4:10-11
"10 Scripture says, 'He will put his angels in charge of you to watch over you carefully.
11 They will carry you in your hands so that you never hit your foot against a rock."
   
     Today we were supposed to fly out to Florida at 4:23pm, but our flight got pushed back to 5:46pm. Of course at first I was a little annoyed, because once your mind is set to be somewhere, you want to be there. Although the timing did not cut out as it was planned I soon saw it as a blessing. Isn't it just like life? Every day, every hour, every minute, we seem to have something planned. We act as though we are the ultimate judge of this universe which ultimately puts us in the mindset that we have the right to decide what we are going to do and when we are going to do it. The thing most people ignore is that we are not in control, we have never been in control. The Creator of all things is the one that decides if our flights are going to be delayed. I have learned to look at everything from a higher perspective. There are little things in life that may seem absolutely miserable and you ask God "Why?". The way we need to see things are from God's perspective. He does not merely let things happen to you, he makes them happen to you. You may have heard the saying, "Everything happens for a reason" and sometimes that still does not ease the pain you may feel. Although, isn't it true? God is watching over us 24/7 even when it may not feel like he is there. Next time you are upset about something or feel like God is not with you, take a moment to stop and think; "How can I find the good in this?". Once you think about all of the ways God is with you, your mind will be at ease. Just like Luke said in verses 4:10-11, He will put his angels in charge of us and they will do everything they can to keep you safe and never let troubled waters come your way.
