"When You Don't Know What to Do"
Often we get up in the morning, make our pot of coffee, and settle in to catch up on the latest news. Global unrest headlines every TV channel. Disheartening stories all over the internet. Magazines, newspapers—nothing to encourage us there, either. Politics, natural disasters, wars, diseases, the economy. Not to mention concerns in our personal lives— the list can go on.
Trying to process all this can be overwhelming. It’s no wonder fear and despair creep in as unwelcome companions. So, what do we do?
We watch more, listen more, click more. We turn more pages to fill our minds with more to worry and fret about in these uncertain times. WHY? Because sometimes, that’s just what we do. We have real concern for our world today, and sometimes we FORGET that God has NOT forgotten us.
We forget His promise to never leave us nor forsake us, to be with us always. We forget His promise to walk with us through the water and the fire, that we would not be swept away nor burned. We forget to cast all our cares on Him, and receive His peace that surpasses understanding. We forget that we can find safety and comfort in the LORD.
We cannot be certain of what will happen tomorrow. But of this, we can be very sure—in these uncertain times, we have a God who continues to bless and keep us, and He is well able to give us sweet peace, even in the midst of it all.
So, as we seek to be informed, let us not become discouraged. Rather, be encouraged by the promises of our faithful God! And let us hide these blessings in our hearts, giving thanks for His goodness to us.
