Faith

“Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above….” (John 19:11 KJV) Jesus is being interrogated by Pilate. Pilate reminded Jesus that he had the power to crucify him or release him. Jesus responded saying Pilate would have no power if God did not allow it. We need structure and laws to live together  peacefully and productively. Persons sometimes get into positions of authority and use it unwisely. It is well to remember who is in charge of the sun rising each morning. Who is responsible for a heart to keep beating until it comes time for it to stop. And the problems that have no solution will ultimately come under the light of Divine Intelligence. Some may call this thinking escapism. I call it faith and trust in the will of God even if I can’t comprehend creation. At least it is better than futility.
