Roll back time or can we do over?

It's funny when you look at something and realize that somehow, someway, something happened that you least expected. You try to reason it out. There is no reason of it. Sometimes you just want to do it over. Unfortunately time isn't a loop. Time isn't circular, but linear. The only thing we can do is learn from our mistakes, pick ourselves up and move on. I told myself that at least a thousand times. I know the malaise and resentment that permeates the whole country at a time like this. They don't realize that God is in control. Everyone wants that control. Are we all fools? Yes.

Lord knows us. He knows our stubborn wills that want control of everything. Once we get that control, we long to roll back time. I've been thinking about that a lot. I know a big part of my personality is that sense of control. I can reason it out, telling myself that it's only assurance that I will not be left behind. Yet I fool myself with this thinking. God's control is a lot better than mine. I can trust him, not myself.

So, I will thank the Lord and praise him for his many blessings. I will let go of my doubts and fears and place them in his capable hands. Only then will I be able to roll back time and do over those things that honor and extol his name.
