Dear Young Christian:
Last week a Christian friend and I were in St. Tropez, a beautiful resort town on the Mediterranean Sea in that part of France known as the French Riviera. The harbor was full of sail boats and yachts, for the 26th annual sailing regatta and international racing competition. As we strolled along the waterfront and watched the boats, along with hundreds of other spectators, I commented that it seemed that the vessels would surely run into each other, there were so many of them. From my perspective, it looked like absolute chaos. However, a little later we climbed a nearby hill, and from above, looked down on what was perfect order.
It made me think of the way we often view life and circumstances here in this world. From our perspective it sometimes seems that things are out of control. But from God’s heavenly point of view it is quite different. How good to know that there is One who has complete charge of everything, and who desires that we “trust in Him at all times” (Psalm 62:8). Let’s learn to trust Him more!
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
