Certainties

Meditating on uncertainties is the source of my anxiety. Life has an infinite supply of uncertainties, and always will, this side of heaven. So if I make my soul's rest and peace of mind contingent on things being as they ought, it will continually escape me.
My soul can rest because God Himself is more than enough for me. There is great solace in that truth.
So on my morning walk, I decided to meditate on certainties instead. God is able to make all grace abound to me. In all things. At all times. Having all that I need to abound in every good thing. Nothing can separate Timothy, Benjamin and Debra Lynn from the love of Christ. In our weakness He is strong. And when I feel that I can't meditate, I remember Jim Berg's counsel that worriers are masters at meditation. (And I"m in the league of worriers, but ever-eager to resign) We turn a scenario upside down and sideways and look into every conceivable possibility and what that would mean for our lives. The challenge then is simply to switch the content of my meditation. Off of the uncertainties, and onto certainties.
Interesting how the certainties often center on Who God is. Nothing we encounter in life will change that. And my soul can rest regardless. What a comfort.
