What a year.
Unprecedented sickness, unrest, upheaval ... a lot of “u” words. A lot of me words.
Sunday was the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. But a lot of days this year have felt very long.
It’s been a year of learning and reminders, adjusting and reworking, celebration and sadness. But I suppose the same could be said for any year.
If there’s ever been a time when I have been constantly reminded I am not in control, it is now. I am trusting God has a plan and all the pieces will fall into place. Maybe they already are, and it’s just hard to see right now.
Scripture says a lot about trusting God ... that He’ll prove himself, we’ll be blessed, safe, unafraid, at peace ... but this one stands out to me today:
“Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.” — Psalm 37:3.
Trust God. And do good things.
That will improve my life and the lives of people around me. And that will lead to having what I need, in safety.
As we walk the roads of our lives this week, we must do good as we trust God to lead us. The book of Ephesians says we were saved by God’s grace in order to do the good works he already prepared for us to do.
So I have a job to do today, where I am.
And so do you.
Chunky, Newton County and the world can be changed if we are faithful.
