This morning as I came down to make my coffee and prepare for the day the phrase “I don’t know” popped into my head. I don’t know what today holds. I don’t know what is going on with work. I don’t know about all this chaos in the world right now. So many “I don’t knows” which, in the past, would have brought on “what ifs” and fears of the worst possible outcome.
Today, however, I got the message {quite clearly enough to stop and write} of peace in the “I don’t know”. I can’t control it all. All I can do is my part while trusting in God and His unfailing love for me. What joy is that trust; that hope; that love! ❤️
As I sat down for my morning “Jesus and coffee” time, the Holy Spirit led me to write so I poured out what came through unto paper. Once finished I heard “share” so here is my musing from this morning as written in my journal.
I don’t know…
One moment to the next, one day to the next. It is out of my control. Yet I am at peace. More peace than I have ever had.
Why? Because, while I don’t know so much, I know Jesus. I know His love for me. His faithfulness in His Word.
The song “Into the Sea” {Tasha Layton} has the lines; “Though the mountains may be moved into the sea. Though the ground beneath might crumble and give way I can hear my Father singing over me, “It’s going to be okay, It’s going to be okay”
These lyrics play through my mind as I am comforted y knowing that there is peace in the “I don’t know”. There is hope. There is love. There is Jesus. He fills the “I don’t know” with His Love. His hope. His strength.
When your “I don’t knows” turn into fears or anxieties, turn to Jesus. Remember He’sgot this and won’t let you down. Even when life is difficult, He gives us His hope; His joy. And His ability to make it through.
