The Book of Isaiah is daunting reading. For years I have started reading and stopped after two chapters. Then, another few years later, I would pick up there and try for another two chapters. It wasn't until I tried reading it on Kindle that I could focus on His words given to the prophet Isaiah.
Who's in charge here? I have heard that question in so many voices, situations.
Sometimes I am in charge, good or bad. I gladly ceded that responsibility now that I am retired. For twenty years and six-hundred students, I was in charge.
Parents, we were/are in charge. For feeding, clothing, and all sorts responsibilities for our children, we were/are in charge.
Paying bills, having the oil changed, finding lost items, etc.--we adults: we're in charge.
Given all that, some of the most amazing I'm in charge here people are children. They have no power, no reason to believe that they are in charge. Even though you and I know that a child should not be in charge in critical areas, they are in the sweetest and most amazing ways.

There are many elements in all lives when exasperation leads to a real question: Who is in charge of me?
