But I trust in you, O Lord. I say, “You are my God.” My times are in your hands… (Psalm 31:14-15a).
In the past weeks, my family has celebrated a wedding, the announcement of a new baby, a harsh medical diagnosis, a scary surgery, and the endless wait for test results. It’s one of those seasons where you look around and think, “Wow, God. This is just…a lot.”
At least I think that, but then I’m not always the most articulate.
So much joy, and pain, and fear, all at once. So much life happening in so short a space. So much to process. And lately I’ve been asking myself–not for the first time–
How do people without Christ do it?
How do they ride this lifecoaster without the knowledge that there is a God who loves them and cares about them and has every moment under control?
How do they celebrate the good without constant fear of what’s around the corner?
How do they brace for the tough days without knowing in their core that their Lord is with them?
How do they face tomorrow without knowing that the One who loves them is already there?
I praise God that I will never need to know a life without Him.
And you, Beloved?
Happy Friday
