"What IS" rather than "What IFs"

Your attention has value. Don't give it away. Stay focused! - M. Lagacè

When God told Moses "I AM THAT I AM", He pretty much meant that for all eternity. Hmm!

If there really is no place where God isn't, and if God is in every moment; then the great 'what if's' of life we tend to fret over are truly of our own making. God knows the rest of today and even tomorrow. And His promises are unbreakable. Inflation and gas prices may continue to rise - God is still in control. The wrong party may win the elections - God is still in control. To worry and fret is to go against Jesus' teaching "which of you by worrying can add one......to his life?" The bible tells us not to dwell on the 'what if's' but to 'think about' "what is...noble, right, pure, lovely....etc." So whatever life may be tossing at us currently good or bad, our thoughts and prayers should be 'what is' God saying or doing in my life with this right now? Because He is a purposeful God, we can be sure there is 'good' in it and glory to come from it.

Until Monday...

"You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you." - Isaiah 26:3
