Good Morning Humanity!!

Has this ever looked like one of your days?

You turn your head towards the night table by your bed...glance at the alarm clock...

BANG...your eyes instantly explode into full open position...you didn't set the clock and you have 6 minutes to get to work!

You jump out of bed...twist your ankle on some stupid book left by the bed...

As you frantically rush around the dark room...you stub your toe...repeatedly...until you finally grab a brain...and actually come to the understanding that the electric light bulb has indeed been invented...

You stumble down the stairs...mix-matched socks, wrinkled clothes... and hair styled by the Ever Rest mattress company...WHERES MY SHOES?!! I set them by the door...someone moved them!!

After several underbreath death threats...you find your shoes...jump into them...and now the next mission impossible...THE CAR KEYS!!...why can't I learn to hang them up by the door!!...the scavanger hunt continues...finally success...you find them...

You shoot out the door like a bullet exploding from a gun barrel...jump into your car...turn the ignition...nothing...AAAAUUUUGGGHHHHH!!!!

At this point you notice that the head light knob is pulled out...you left the lights on...the battery is dead....again...AAAUUUGGGGHHHH!!! [as Charlie Brown would say].

You are late, late, late...for work!!!

You go to grab your cell phone to call for back up...grrrrr...you left it in the stupid house!!!

You jump out of the car...rush to the house...phone the AMA for a boost, from your land line...good news...they will be right over!

You slam the phone down...check that you got your wallet, grab your cell phone and rush back out the door...slamming it shut as you fly through.

You stand on your driveway...tapping your foot...WHERE ARE THEY??!! ITS BEEN THREE MINUTES...how long does it take to get across town anyway!!!

Finally, the tow truck guy comes!! You pop the hood...he hooks up the cables...and tells you to try and start you car...

...you break down and begin weeping...you left the keys by the phone...locked in the house!!

Has this ever been a day in your life? Some might say...a day in my life...that is my life?

There are times when we can totally see Murphy's Law [if something can go wrong...it will] working itself out in our daily plans.

Why?

God created the world...and He created it good.

God made men and women on earth to have dominion and to subdue all things. God is the High King...and men and women were the lesser kings under Him.

Adam and Eve [first man and woman] rebelled against the High King...they were not going to listen to Him...they were going to try and frustrate His plans...fight against Him wherever they could!!

When the first man and woman rebelled...they fell from a right standing before God...and their natures became corrupt...rebellious, sinful...

Men and women today...are born with this same rebellious nature [this is why we need God to supernaturally change our hearts...give us new hearts].

To show us how frustrating we are to Him, the High King...God has caused the rest of the creation...that is "under" mankind's authority...to be just a frustrating to them...

So in the end...Murphy's Law...is really God's Law/Jesus Law...

The good news is that Jesus died to overcome man's sin...and is now presently at work...bringing all of creation back under His control.
