If we get a hold of [God’s sovereignty in our lives], how will it change the way we speak with one another? Think about how much of our communication involves complaining about our circumstances: our bills, tough neighbors, difficult job, rebellious children, distant husband, unappreciative wife, ineffective church leaders, defective lawn mower, broken-down car, heavy taxes, college tuition, and inability to afford a “good” vacation.
