In today’s sermon, Dave talked about our tendency to effectively act as though we could do a better job than God at…. being in charge of things. This reminded me of these lyrics from “My Evil Plan to Save the World” by the ska band Five Iron Frenzy (emphasis added):

I have an evil plan
to save the world for every man,
and I think it’s better than the way it’s being run.
Oh, the ground works laid,
no don’t be afraid,
I’m sure that I can fix it,
when I figure out the physics.

My evil plan to save the world,
just you wait ’till it’s unfurled,
it’ll go down in history.
It’s prophetic, no it’s not pathetic.
I can’t believe I made it up myself.
