It makes no difference who you are, there will be uncertainty in your life, especially during post pandemic living. Today you have a job and tomorrow you are laid off. That one action can be the beginning of a life of uncertainty. While we would prefer not to think or dwell on these issues, they are real.
When you are uncertain about tomorrow, let the word of God be your guide. The Apostle Paul told Timothy, “You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred.” (2 Timothy 3: 1-2 NLT) He could have easily written those words yesterday because they describe what our society has become.
Does it mean that all is lost? God knew that there would be days like this: He is not caught off-guard. Philippians 4:6-7 says, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” Our heavenly Father knew about the side-effects of worry even before the doctors told us how destructive to our bodies it can be.
Worry is like an invasive plant in your garden, even when it seems you got it all, there’s a little plant shooting up. So, Jesus said, “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?” (Matthew 6:25-27) Don’t worry; put your trust in God.
Thought for Today: Friend, worry is destructive while faith moves mountains.
Have a blessed day and walk in faith and victory.
