"Are you right all the time?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

When I worked for just one radio station, I worked for a man who knew his way was always the right way. Now this way of doing life worked just fine for him, until something went wrong.

For instance, I was instructed in how to operate the transmitter. So one morning, it was my turn to work the morning shift and I went in and turned the transmitter on just like I’d been taught. Only this time it didn’t work. So I called the engineer who came and replaced a part, and we were back on the air.

But for some reason, this guy decided somebody had to bear the blame for the transmitter malfunction, and I was that somebody. I tried to explain I just turned it on, but he wouldn’t listen. Finally, he screamed at me, "There are two ways of doing things around here—my way and the highway." It was then that I realized his rage wasn’t about me, but about something he couldn’t control in his life—parts breaking.

You know, most of life is beyond control. Rather than having to be right all the time and blaming each other, let’s listen to life today for what God has to say.
