There once was a fly....

 

I am musing on a story that begins like this....

There once was a fly.

There once was a fly.

It lived in Salt Lake City. More specifically, in Kingsbury Hall on the campus of the University of Utah.

Kingsbury Hall is the Performing Arts Center. So that fly had the opportunity to view many productions.

Last night, that fly was viewing a televised production that likely millions were watching.

As that fly buzzed around, it decided to land on a nice head of white hair. And stay there awhile.

Little did he know, that he was sitting on the head of the Vice President of the United States.

Little did he know how important the role of Vice President of the United States is.

Little did he know how important the upcoming election which was being debated is.

Little did he know how much of that country's future was at stake.

Little did he know how many prayers were being offered for that man upon whose head he sat... and  for those he works with

Little did he know of the challenges that country is facing

Little did he know of the vast beauty, opportunities and blessings the Lord has bestowed upon that  country

Little did he know of the power of prayer and of the mighty power of  the Creator God to whom we pray

Little did he know of the power, grace, love and care that the Creator has for all creation, including him.

LITTLE DID HE KNOW THAT THE ONE WHO CREATED HIM HAS ALL THINGS IN HIS CONTROL!!!.

But we do!

And how thankful we are that we can rest in this Truth with the amount of trust with which that fly just sat there, oblivious that he was literally sitting on top of history...in the making.

So, as history unfolds around us....

Let's rest in confidence on the One who has all things in His hands and on His shoulders! The Word says that the "the government shall be upon his shoulder" (from Isaiah 9:6). He can lift up a government and bring it down. He carries the future as one who carries a burden upon his shoulders. He is burdened for us all. And offers true peace when He says...

"Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matt. 11:28

 Yes. We can rest atop our Creator God, confidently and assuredly, even as that fly from Salt Lake City who opted to rest confidently and unabashedly last night, upon the Vice President's head:) 

This Truth may "fly in the face" of some. But it is definitely worth sharing and buzzing about!!
