Stop wishing. ( Psalm 31 v 15 )

I love the movie ,'Lord of the rings', very entertaining,the hero is a little Hobbit called Frodo who has a ring that must be destroyed,but there is so many difficulties,and so there is a point where Frodo  says to Gandalf, ''I wish the ring had never come to me,I wish this had never happened'', Gandalf replies,''All men who live to see such times,it is not for them to decide times ,all you have to do is decide, what to do with the time given you''.Can you see what God is saying to us,as regards what we have to face,sickness,many are facing wars,facing so many things.Like Frodo you feel it is to much, and you wish. Wishing will not change anything,it is what we decide that is important. Joseph found himself  a slave in Egypt what did he do , he worked hard,served those over him.Let us remember our times are in Gods hands, wishing will not change anything,but with a humble reliance on God,we can change for the better.                                                                                                                                                                                     I do not ask my cross to understand,                                                                                                         My way to see;                                                                                                                                           Better in darkness just to feel Thy hand,                                                                                                   And follow Thee.                                                                                                                                            (Adelaide A.
