Spinning Out of Control? Really?

I've been reading Mark Batterson's Wild Goose Chase, a work that has caused me to look at the adventure of pursuing God in a whole new way. In the third chapter titled "Dictatorship of the Ordinary", Batterson does a great job of challenging his readers to take a look at those things that we often consider routine.

"When was the last time you thanked God for keeping us in orbit? I'm guessing never. Lord, thanks for keeping us in orbit. And I was a little nervous about making the full rotation around our axis today, but You did it again. Most of us don't pray that way. But isn't it a little ironic that we have a hard time believing God for the little stuff while we take the big stuff for granted. Come on, if God can keep the planets in orbit, don't you think He can reorder your life when you feel like it's spinning out of control?"

Here's my point...I'm gonna work at thanking God for those things that I often take for granted. I suspect that if God can keep the universe together, He can handle an economy that seems to be spinning out of control.
