Uncertain Times

When I began thinking about starting this blog, I had no idea what the world situation would hold. These are definitely uncertain times, and we have never needed encouragement more. An unseen enemy has attacked us, and there is racial and political unrest. In times of uncertainty, I have always found comfort in a poem by Theodore Tilton, in which, through good and bad, an ancient king declares that success and failure, good times and bad, life and death, all eventually pass away.

As I look back at life from my vantage point, I realize that in my twenties, every crisis seemed to be the end of my world. Now many years later, I realize that God brought me through each crisis, and I am certain he will not fail me now. We can depend on His faithfulness in whatever situation we encounter. My greatest encouragement comes from the book of John in the Bible.

I have told you these things that you might have peace. In this world you will have trouble, but take heart. I have overcome the world.

John 16:33 (NIV)

Even when we do not understand what is happening in our current situations, we can be assured that we can trust God’s promises and the love that He showed on the Cross of Calvary
