Human beings do not like to be controlled by others. In 1776, the American colonists fought the British to became an independent country. We celebrate the independence of the United States on the Fourth of July.
While some people are thinking BBQ, road trips and fireworks, others are dealing with worries and concerns of this world. It seems that we are trapped in a world wide web of terrorism and catastrophes.
How do you feel reading the news about Brexit, Istanbul airport bombing, West Virginia flooding, California wild fires, shooting, killing and accidents everywhere? Just now I heard the breaking news about Gunmen attacking and holding hostages at a restaurant in a diplomatic zone, that was supposed to be the safest area in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Can we really shield and shelter our next generation from these troubles in the world? How can we raise them to become mature and independent adults?
One thing we can do is to live through the ups and downs of life by trusting God who sent His Son Jesus Christ to save us.
Even as Christians, our love of independence often causes us to forget the truth that we cannot live or do anything without God, even exercise!
