The little mouse [ Genesis 50 v 20]

D.R. Davis writes of /Gods calendar,and how even chaotic time is appointed time/ It is clear throughout scripture that God has His time in which things will happen,and in spite of awful chaotic times God is in control.It was R.Burns while ploughing up rooted a mouse .From that simple experience he wrote a poem,The words are in the Scottish dialect it reads,/ But mousie,thou art no thy-lane.In proving foresight may be in vain. The best laid schemes o' mice and men,gang aft agley. An leave us naught but grief and pain,for promised joy/.The way I would see this is simple ,in spite of all our planning , and efforts to make things go a certain way,things can so soon collapse around us.Yes , we rule but God overrules,sometimes bringing the house down upon our heads.We will never fully understand this ,may be resent it,because our house comes down upon us. This can not only apply to as it were bad things ,but to good things,let us never forget that all things are working out for our good,all things[Romans8 v28]
                                     A   prayer.
Dear God help us not to loose our heads,no matter how chaotic things appear to be in Jesus name Amen.
