BOB Good morning. This is Bob Peden of Central, a United Methodist Community. You have surely heard of Murphy's law. In summary, Murphy's law says, "Anything that can go wrong, will; and at the worst possible moment." I am sure that each of you can attest to the accuracy of this law. How we react to these situations though, says a lot about our character and about our relationship with God. If we say, "Everything will turn out alright eventually," we may be living in a dream world. If we react by saying, "How could God do this to me," our bitterness may turn us away from God. As Christians we should react by turning to God, praying for His guidance and realizing that our Father is at work ransoming our worst circumstances. Paul and Barnabas took a Murphy's law situation and turned to God, singing His praises so loudly they awoke the jailer and his family. How will you react, the next time everything goes wrong?
