Let God Have Control

As humans are apt to do, we often try to take matters into our own hands. Unfortunately, that can lead to disaster. Seventy-six year old Bob Olrich was faced with a life-changing situation. His wife's cancer had spread from her colon to her lymph nodes. On more than one occasion the family was called to her bedside, certain she would not last through the night. After watching her suffer, Olrich decided to take the matter into his own hands, fatally shooting her. To add more tragedy to the incident, an autopsy indicated his wife was cancer-free when her life was ended. Why not let God have control of our lives? He is the Author of life itself. We cannot begin to understand the wisdom and grace of our Lord. He can heal us and keep us from the grave, but that is for Him to decide, not us. Let Him have control of every situation.
