Bad Hair Day vs. Bad Hair Cut
I'll confess. It wasn't just a bad hair day, but a bad
haircut which ultimately means a bad hair month. I've tried it curly; I've
tried it straight. In front of my ears and behind have also been part of the
experiment. Nothing seems to work like it should. It must be bothering me more
than I thought because I even dreamed about it.
In my nighttime fantasy I returned to the salon and asked
the hair dresser to help me do something with the mop of locks. He tried one
thing after another and then walked away. Wondering where he went, I turned and
saw he was sitting in chair first shaking his head and then hiding his face
into his hands because he had no solution. It was a hopeless situation.
Chuckling as I awoke remembering the dream, I was relieved
to know that in the grand scheme of things this was not that important. I was
also grateful to reflect that even though we often are in situations where we
feel we have no solution, God never is. He always has the perfect plan and the
resources to carry them out. He will never walk away from us and wring His
hands in distress wondering what to do next. He doesn't fret or worry or become
discouraged because He is in perfect control.
Knowing this makes a bad hair day and even a bad hair cut
seem not so bad after all.
Praise God!
Job 42:1-2 Then Job replied to the Lord, "I know that
You can do all things; no plan of Yours can be thwarted."
