She signs with a flourish…

And looks at the title of the document…

“Last Will and Testament….”

Because of this document…

Her will “will be done…’

She laughs at the joke…

But her daughter-in-law will not laugh.

Why did her son marry that miserable woman?

Can’t he see that all she wants is his money?

Well, it isn’t his money yet…

And it never will be his money…

If he stays married to that woman…

Because that’s what her will says!

The mother will control her son even after she dies…

The thought comforts her.

She puts her faith in her own power of control…

She controls most things in her life…

Except for her son…

And now she will control him, too!

And yet…

At the exact moment she is feeling so confident…

Doubt enters her mind.

After all, she has not controlled everything in her life…

There have been those who were smarter…

Those who had more power…

And now she is dealing with someone who will outlive her…

“Perhaps,” she admits to herself, “control is an illusion…”

The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. Proverbs 16:9

But if control is an illusion…

Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.  Proverbs 19:21

It is an illusion that gives her comfort.

How like her are we?

Seeking fleeting comfort in the illusion that we are in control…

When if only we would surrender to Him who has real control…

Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases.  Psalm 115:3

Then we will find eternal comfort…

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. John 3:16-17
