When I find dramatic cliffhangers in a book, I skip to the end for a quick peek. I hate waiting for an ending, even in life. The “not knowing” when I can safely eat at a restaurant or get a pedicure is killing me. I am starting to find peace by letting go of my need to know.

James 4:14-15 is, “How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog – it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. What you ought to say is, ‘If the Lord wants us to, we will live, and do this or that.’”

Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015

I plan as much as I can, but God determines the outcome. I have to trust that He is in control. There are good things happening to me during this crisis. I have more time to spend in God’s Word. Worrying about the effects of Corona has brought me closer to Christ. I believe the Lord is in charge and will use everything (even a global pandemic) for His glory. I trust God to guide me through uncertainty.
