Struggling with authority? Perhaps your husband’s?

Struggling with authority? Perhaps your husband’s, or a boss’s? Here’s a situation that just came up with a friend of mine. The boss wanted them to do something next door to impossible. Here’s what I wrote her:
Responding to this unreasonable request…sounds like what military guys go through when the big generals, who see the big picture, say, “Just go blow up ...” “... ” Yeah right. We gotta move all our artillery, get past enemy lines, have no food,” etc. We’ll pray hard!!!
But if your orders DON’T change, I’ve learned there can be supernatural reasons behind absurd authority plans/orders…to get you out of a place where a bomb is ready to go off, a major 25 car pile up is about ready to happen, an earthquake, etc. or to take you TO something that is supernatural…a certain person just ripe for evangelism, a significant encounter, etc. God’s providences are all a mystery. Appeal his authority vigorously, and if he doesn’t change, believe God in your weariness. Francois Fenelon, 300 years ago, declared all minutia of EVERY day to be in God’s divine providence for reasons we won’t know until glory.
Surely you will be borne along by angels. Isaiah 40:31
