In times of uncertainty, we tend to lose focus and hope. We become frustrated and saddened about the way things are going, and our need to control becomes unbearable. We worry about things way in advance or dwell on the past for too long. During uncertain times, many people fall into depression or suffer from anxiety. The need for control, companionship, or comfort rises. In times of uncertainty when we don’t know which way the winds blows we must trust God. Our focus should be on the one who makes all things possible. The one who knows our needs before we ask. God is still the same, today, tomorrow, and always; take hold of his unchanging hand.
As you begin each day, take time to be with God. Reading his word, praying and praising him will make a world of difference when you allow the one who created the day to lead the way. “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it” (Psalm 118:24). He removes all fears and worries so that you have a carefree day. “Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you.” (1st Peter 5:7) “So do not worry, saying, ‘ What shall we eat? or ‘ What shall we drink or ‘ What shall we wear for the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.” (Matthew 6:31-32) God isn’t caught off guard by events happening in our lives; instead, He is working for the good of those who love the Lord according to his will and purpose.(Romans 8:28). God has a plan even in times of famine; faith must arise. We must learn to lean on the Lord, who is willing and able to help all in need.
Daily, we must eat to sustain our physical energy. We must use the same technique for our spirits. We must feed ourselves spiritually. The daily bread that God provides. Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but from every word that comes from the mouth of God.” It is the essential existence for our being. We’re so consumed by the pleasures of the world that provide temporary happiness, and we’re missing out on the joy that the Lord graciously gives. We spend too much time worrying about tomorrow that we forget to savor the moments with the Savior. God provides great meals; take some time to sit and sup with him today. “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. (Revelation 3:24). God gives us our daily bread, and those who eat are well fed. Nothing is more pleasurable than sharing a great meal with a friend, especially one that will last until the end.
Friends, we must spend time with God while we still have time. He is the author and the finisher of our faith. We spend so much time worrying about this life that we miss the one who came to give us life and life more abundantly. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one can get to the Father (God) except through him. (John 14:6). Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who hopes in him. (Psalms 34:8)
