       Now we can see better into why God allows Satan to do certain things. Satan thinks he is causing ruin, but God sees past that to the good. Looking at trials in light of giving up control we see that if we do not have too strong of an attachment to anything we really succeed. Jesus is the only One who is constant. The writer of Hebrews told us we are to fasten our ship’s anchor onto him. And in that analogy, the waters represent life. Water moves around; things change. God doesn’t change. With this in view then, negative things happening isn’t as shocking because we have given up strong attachment to things. We have our parents, our spouse, our children, our career, our house, our church, our money, our reputation. At the end of the day, though, because God is really all that matters, changes to these things while they make us sad perhaps for a certain prescribed time, they don’t hurt us for the long-term. This is the crown of life. We receive the crown of life when we are able to navigate our ships through the waters safely.
