James 4:14
That occurred several months ago, but I haven’t forgotten it. It has been on my mind, especially the past few weeks. For all of us, we had a perfect example two weeks ago when war broke out in Israel. Lives were forever changed in an instant. Many were ended. Much travel has come to a halt. We wonder: Will the world ever be the same?
Closer to home, other changes have occurred. Several friends have received doctor’s diagnosis' that have drastically changed their lives—totally unexpectedly. One friend lost her 21-year old son in a traffic accident. In an instant her path changed. On a much lesser scale, for me personally, I’ve been sick—hit hard with some infection that has rendered me home-bound. For how long? I don’t know. But I do know my well-laid plans for fall have suddenly come to a halt.
All of this brought to mind the words of God who has warned us that we, as human beings, do not know what tomorrow will bring. We make our plans, but He determines our steps. (Pr 16:9) Thus, the way to prepare ourselves for the “Surface Changes” ahead is to put our faith in Him, the only One who knows what lies ahead.
As one of my grandsons recently said: “Life sometimes comes at your fast!”
It certainly does!
