God knows what is best. I was scheduled to be in Lawrence, Kansas this weekend. However because of the effects of a storm, the dedication service was postponed until June. This morning, my wife tripped, fell and broke a bone in her foot. At the present time, she is on crutches and cannot put weight on her foot. Had I been in Kansas, she would have been in a very difficult situation.

I feel bad that she broke her foot, but I am thankful that I am here to take care of her. Many times we wonder why circumstances and situations happen the way they do. Our plans get canceled or changed around in ways that are either disappointing or inconvenient to us and we say, "Why this?" "Why me?" "Why now?" Children of God are not immune to crises. We face as many as non-Christians. There is, however, a difference. In every situation, God is already there. As children of God, nothing touches us that does not first come by His throne. Because He knows us, he knows our plight. We must simply obey Him, commit our lives to Him and trust Him for the consequences.
