So, I sat down outside, but I was followed by kids. I guess praying is out of the question. But, that is my most happy answer. I am so afraid of doing anything rash, but something must be done.
My prayer will be heard, and I do believe in possibilities but, I am reasonable and know not to expect immediate results. Like that story of a guy who is drowning but three boats come to rescue him, but he says "No thanks, God is going to save me." I see the problem with thus story. The drowning man, to be likened to us, needs to recognize divine intervention, which he seems unable to do.
I think instead of a tactical team who gives direct orders that must come from one source or people could end up unecessarily hurt. So, this new guy sees the instruction given as foolish and think that he knows better. He may be smarter, but in this case not following the plan is not the best way to do the job. I recognize a bigger plan, larger than I could possibly see, so I will be obedient and wait and not be rash. Even if my actions seem counter productive, they were decided to be best and ultimately life is simple. It is about knowing what is right and doing it.
I fought over a word choice of right over best. Cause obedience comes before approriateness, and that is the lesson I am being taught. It is sooooo hard to not think of things as what is best, but to think of a grander perspective and do what is right.
