I say to God, “Be my Lord!” Without you, nothing makes sense. (Psalm 16:2 MSG) Life hardly makes any sense on good days, but what about making sense of our lives when there’s nothing that gives us any indication of whether we’re going north or south or even west and east? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, just watch the 11 o’clock news. You’ll hear first about the senseless murders in your neighborhood, then about the robberies, followed soon after by the fires. Then, if there is time, you’ll get to hear about the senselessness abroad, otherwise you’ll encounter a weather report that includes snow and subtropical temperatures in consecutive days. What do you make of that? I know it doesn’t make any sense to you. Especially since you’re life could be the news, one traumatic and life altering event after another. However, have we ever tried giving those senseless life events over to God? Have you tried to take refuge (that is trust) in Him? I know what really happens: we try to make sense of it ourselves and then relegate our circumstances and situations as “bad luck.” That is the wrong solution and a bad idea– its a complete waste of time. If things in your life don’t make any sense, then you must ask God to be your Lord. I bet that if you start asking God to be your Lord (that is care taker of your livelihood) then there would be more sense in your life to go around even when things don’t make any sense. Give it a try and make sense of your life by making God your Lord.
