I have been thinking about ‘life’ a lot tonight. How things change. How things stay the same. I have also been thinking about easy decisions as well as the tough ones. Many of my friends , and myself, are going through exciting, happy, and yet ‘scary’ or ‘unknowing’ times. If you think about it, life’s just plain scary sometimes. ‘What’s going to happen in the future? What about our health? Will we get a job out of college? Have we made the right decisions? Are we prepared? Are we doing the right thing? What would happen, if….?’ How can that happen?’ Our fears often come out of questions that are not answered at the drop of a hat. The things that He knows, and the things we do not. That’s where the whole idea of Faith in HIM comes from, I suppose. Faith that He knows what He is doing. Faith that He has a plan for me. For my life. For all of our lives. For the good, the bad, the ugly, the happy. He has a plan. Life is good for me, tonight. As my Facebook says, “My hands and my itinerary are full, but so is my heart” That’s how I feel right now. Things are good. I’m healthy. I’m happy. Those fears I face myself, and the fears that I carry for those I love they are worldly. The fears that everyone carries. They are worries. They are ideas that SHOULD NOT hold significance to me. Afterall, He said, in Matthew 6:25-34:
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]? 28″And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Psalms 56:3:
“For when I am afraid, I will put my trust in You.”
I’m thinking……… Every thing’s going to be okay.
