How can today be the last day of January?!? Since it's 55*F outside, my mental calendar is quite confused, but there were a couple bookkeeping deadlines that brought it to my attention that today is January 31st.
One whole month out of twelve in 2012 is gone. Words to describe our month include fragile, needy, dependent, weak, unknown, unsure, not in control, and the list goes on.
Those words do not describe the way we humans (at least those of us with control tendencies) like to live, but they do describe reality. Too often we deceive ourselves into thinking that we are in control, we know the future, and we are strong. In reality, we know so little of how very needy, fragile, dependent and weak we are. We are much weaker than we know and desperately need our Savior more than we realize.
The key, of course, is to move beyond focusing on our inadequacies and lack of control, and remember ~ and cling to ~ the fact that we know The One who is in control and that he is good and does good.
