Watching the news lately, it seems like the world is spinning out of control. Our ecomony is crumbling, mortgages & credit have dried up, gas is scarce & expensive, prices of everything keep climbing, we are still in a severe drought here in the South, people's jobs are in jeopardy, church giving & attendence is down, we face an uncertain political future, there are growing enemies around the world getting bolder, and the moral & spiritual foundations are being rapidly eroded around us. These are uncertain, unnerving times.
I tend to fret about what I see happening in the world around me. How will these affect my life in the years ahead? The lives of my children & grandchildren one day? What will America, the world, look like 5, 10, 20, etc. years from now?
I was reminded yesterday in my morning quiet time that God is still on His throne, still in control. He brought to mind several Bible passages-
"I've never seen the righteous forsaken, nor His children begging for bread." Psalm 37:25
"My God will provide for all of your needs according to His riches in glory." Philippians 4:19
"...do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:25-34
I will rest in Him.
