When John Jacob Astor heard that his ship “The Tonquin” sank in the Pacific Coast, he knew his investment was lost. But even after learning about the disaster, he still went to the theater. When a friend who knew of the disaster asked how he could receive such news then attend light amusement, as if nothing had happened, Astor replied, “What would you have me do? Would you have me stay at home and worry and weep for what I cannot control?
When things happen to us that are out of our control we must not set back and pout and worry about it excessively, instead we are to give our worries to God and trust that He will make things better for us.
