Bible Passage: Proverbs 3:5
We arrived home late Sunday night from taking our son to visit grandma and grandpa. I’ll tell you about that debacle some other time. Upon our arrival we saw on the caller id that the owner of the house we rent had called us. Not having an answering machine, we were left to wonder what she wanted. In the many years we’ve rented, she has never called or spoken to us. We pay her through a friendly guy named Corky who takes care of her properties.
My imagination can run wild. The first thought I had was that she wanted to sell the house. I lamented this all night long. I found it hard to sleep. In the morning, I tried not to worry but couldn’t stop. While I was worrying, I looked for a shirt to wear. For some reason, I couldn’t find anything I wanted to wear. Finally, I stuck my hand up to the top of my closet to grab a shirt I saw up there. I pulled it down and looked at it. The shirt had a Christian message on it. I had not worn it in quite a while. The shirt read, “RELAX… God is in control … Proverbs 3:5”
Later that evening, the owner returned our call. We spoke for a moment and then said, “You know that fig tree out back? I was wondering if I could have some of those figs so I could make my parents some fig preserves.” I offered to pick the figs for her and gave them to her the next day. I also thanked her for a great story to tell of how God should be listened to when he says trust Him.
