Fate is not out to get me

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. -Hebrews 10:23 (NIV)

This morning as I was getting ready for work, I had a clumsy morning. I knocked over some bottles in the shower, dropped the bath shampoo on my foot, and couldn't turn the cold water off (the handle is stripped...long story). I felt my frustration level going up, and I thought, "The cosmic forces are set against me. Today is not going to be good." But then I stopped and thought, "What forces?" God is not out to "get" me. And as a Christian, I don't subscribe to karma. So I am a little clumsy this morning. I might not always be able to control my equilibrium which is off due to my ongoing sickness, but I can control how I react. I made the conscious decision not to let a little before work mishaps affect my entire day. It can be a good day.
