A Time Where Uncertainty Rules…

We live in a time where uncertainty rules. Worry, fear, and cases of depression are skyrocketing among us. With all this uncertainty, how do we deal with it as believers? First off, uncertainty is part of life. It’s always been here. Jesus said in His time, “we don’t know what tomorrow brings, today has enough trouble of its own.” James stated that “we are foolish to make plans without God.” God will provide. He will meet our needs. Look what He did for the Israelites during their 40 year wondering in the desert. He provided manna to eat. When they reached the Promised Land, the manna stopped, and was replaced with the crops from the land. God is trustworthy. He will provide for our needs. The solution to society’s worry and fear of uncertainty is to focus on the One Whom we should fear, and know we can trust to provide. In God we trust. Isn’t that the textbook definition of what Christian faith is?

10 While the Israelites were camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, they celebrated Passover on the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month. 11 The very next day they began to eat unleavened bread and roasted grain harvested from the land. 12 No manna appeared on the day they first ate from the crops of the land, and it was never seen again. So from that time on the Israelites ate from the crops of Canaan. Joshua 5:10-12
