Is God really sovereign? Is he sovereign enough formy messy life? It?s always easy to trust, to love,and sing praises to God when life is smoothand easy. But when the walls start closing in,when you lose your business and your home andyou move away from your adult children andgrandchildren, can you trust God with all thatpain and uncertainty? ?You number my wanderings; put my tearsinto your bottle? (Psalms 56:8). A mysterious illness was killing myhusband right before my eyes, and all I could see were the scaryquestions looming over our future. What if Harry should die andleave me alone in North Dakota? I had another back injury that woulddemand two surgeries. Could I truly love God with all my heart, becontent and grateful, even if healing never comes? After my Motherdied suddenly, I was riddled with grief, guilt, and unforgiveness forthe many secrets surrounding her passing. Now that Mother wasgone, what did God want me to do with my Father? We were going towork and live in the oil fields of North Dakota. Would we ever feelnormal again?What we saw was God was in all the details, the beautiful and the messy.He was there walking beside us, he was holding on to us even whenwe were losing our grip and our faith. A King does not abdicate histhrone when his people go through a battle. Rather, that is when heshows his true strength, his compassion, his supremacy, so his peoplehave someone to follow. When we were at our weakest, God was athis strongest; he was there, and we learned that in him alone was oursecurity and our future, our hope, and our peace.
