Well, our motorcycles for fools.

That's today's question, and we're speaking of recreational motorcycles here, of course, their primary function in the States States and it's really a question about

Providence more than anything else here's the email hello pastor John my name is

Ian and I live in the beautiful city of San Diego my girlfriend and I got into a discussion recently about riding motorcycles for fun.

I stated that if we got married I wouldn't ride motorcycles because to me it feels unwise to put myself

in a greater risk of dying and thus leaving her

alone or if we had kids leaving them without their father and leaving their mother to

support all of them because writing for us is just recreational.

She believes that if I died writing it was God's will for me to die anyways

and taking precautions like not

take the

to live in fear, while for me it feels like a wise decision

to not take that unnecessary risk

when others livelihoods are at stake.

I'm having trouble reconciling the sovereignty of God in our lives, but also making wise decisions.

It's true that God oversees every event that happens in our lives regardless of our precautions,

but in my mind I feel like decisions that we make will also impact our future, but aren't

crashes and misfortune in the hand of God too, making precautions like these worthless.

Am I living in fear or am I being prudent and wise in not wanting to ride motorcycles?

Thank you, Pastor John.

There are two sentences in Ian's question, which I think needs some correction.

And in the process, perhaps I can clarify a way of thinking about God's sovereignty and our risks and our fear that will shape the way
