Living in the Unknown
Trust. It’s all that I need these days and what I too often lack.
My life was once built upon human interaction and constant busyness. Perhaps yours was, too. Recently, I have had nothing but time to reflect.
As the distractions faded, the doubts crept in.
God, I know you hear me, but…
God, I know you’re there, but…
"Ye of little faith" became me of little faith. I had to decide - would I rely on the fleeting promises of this world or trust in the faithful promises of God? This is a decision that I make daily. I have found the following reality checks helpful in revealing where I place my trust and what I place my identity in:
- Have I met with God today?
- Am I studying His Word more intently than I study my social media, the world news, and rising coronavirus case counts?
- Am I more dedicated to cleansing my heart as I am to cleansing my home?
These questions should not be binary: a case of doing one and not the other. In Mark 12, Jesus gives us insight into how we should prioritize our life based on the Ten Commandments.
Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
In this time, these commandments are a reminder to keep my eyes focused wholeheartedly on the Lord. This does not mean neglecting to educate myself on the risks of coronavirus, as stopping the spread is a clear way to love my neighbor. The order in which it is presented emphasizes the importance of centering myself on God first, and also finding tangible ways to serve others during this time.
When focused on God and His Word, I remember His power over every situation. I can rest assured that He has not forgotten His children and is sovereign.
The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations.
Fullness of truth and hope is only possible through Him alone. Do you trust Him?
