kiss the concrete

Yesterday life was good. I was proud that I had lost 12 pounds in 3 weeks. I received some good news from one of my Moody Bible Institute grad school professors.
Linda and I are moving to a bigger townhome. Yes, life was great. Then, while going for a walk-run with my wife, I stumbled over an uneven piece of sidewalk and fell on my face on to the concrete.

I’ve always wanted a “boxer’s brow” … you know a scar on your eye brow that makes you look tough. Now I finally have one … along with a cut on my lip and a skinned knee.

GOD has a way of reminding us that HE is in controll of everything. The LORD alone knows the content of my days. Sometimes I get this stupid idea that it is me that is responsible for my accomplishments … and someone else is at fault when I fall. Then GOD allows me to “kiss the concrete” … and I remember it is HE who gets the credit for all that is good.

” … I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.” Isaiah 48: 17
