I read a news report published by Associated Press on Sunday, April 8 that demonstrates how unpredictable life can be.
A 72-year-old man was riding his motor cycle down interstate 12 in Covington, La when he hit a bathtub.
Yes, you read it right a bathtub.
This is incredible, of all the dangers on the road one would never think of hitting a bathtub.
You have to chuckle a bit however; the rider received serious injuries and is currently hospitalized in St.
Tammany parish Hospital.
It turned out the tub bounced out of a man's pickup truck and the man was charged with negligent injury and driving with an unsecured load.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.
You just never know when life is going to through you a tub.
That's a joke, maybe a bad joke but nevertheless, life has a way of dropping tubs in your path when you least expect them.
And on a more serious note divorce, death, serious injury and other life altering circumstances occur without warning.
The tubs of life can bring a ton of pain and the only chance of maintaining your equilibrium is to have a firm trust in God.
Oh you might try medications, counseling or any number of measures, which might work and they might not.
Trusting God is a sure fire method of dealing with issues out of our control.
He knows the future.
He sees the big picture and we only see the tub.
He has the answers to life's serious problems and we can't even figure out what the question is.
He can see the path and we can't even see the direction in broad day light.
He is boss.
He loves us and wants us to lay back and trust Him.
Let me encourage you, if a tub has been dropped in your path trust God.
Let go of your control and allow Him to do His job.
God knows there is a tub in the road and He can guide you safely around the obstacle, so let go and let God.
