John Wesley, the great 18th Century evangelist, wrote in his journal:
'I would no more worry than I would blaspheme.'
An extreme statement but one that demonstrates his level of obedience to God and his clear vision of Who was orchestrating his circumstances.
On the isle of Patmos, the apostle John was feeling downcast about the condition of the Church until He had a vision of the throne of God. (Revelation 4)
From that moment onwards he understood that there was a headquarters to Creation and that everything was truly in God's control.
For those among us who insist on being the managing director of the universe: resign forthwith. Let God do His job and you do yours. Things work better that way.
