One of the dips in the roller coaster ride raised its head yesterday: the exciting kind, where suddenly you find yourself staring straight down at a long line of tracks with no indication of when the tracks go back up again.
My first reaction, of course, is my typical reaction: become depressed, retreat, grumble. But this is certainly not compatible with what I proclaim, that God is in control of all the circumstances, and that I am to glorify Him - because the reality is that these things don't occur in a vacuum: even as on a roller coaster your fellow riders are watching you (well, maybe - they're probably watching the track), so those around me are watching me to see how I react. I proclaim I believe in an omnipotent God - do I act like I believe it?
Making God real to those around us is not only the case when we are in a good place, it's probably even more relevant when we are in places not so good.
