Life’s been hard of late, but it helps–with everything–to focus on Truth. It can be incredibly difficult to pull away from all the activity surrounding us. But truth is still there, waiting to be found. Where to find wisdom? God’s words are the only place to find undeniable truth.

Here’ s a nugget about being alone:

 “… And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Matthew 28:20

When you feel like you don’t matter:

“I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”
Luke 12:4-7

When you’re afraid of what might be in the future:

“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 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. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Matthew 6:28-34

So fret if you must, but know it’s for no reason. Surprises can knock the wind from our sails. I totally get that. But know God’s plan are stronger than time.

The Lord foils the plans of the nations;
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations.
Psalm 33:11

For me, when I focus on truth, Life falls into perspective. I hope it does for you as well.

What say you?

What do you wonder about?  Are you happy … or are you doing what you never thought you’d do? Do you see consistencies … or are you all over the place? Drop me a line. I’d love to chat.
