2012 has run its course, been lived and made its place in history. A new year has come and with it an endless list of uncertainties. I cannot help but be reminded of how fickle we really are as humans. I cannot control whether or not I wake up tomorrow, whether I will be healthy, whether I will be able to speak in the morning, where the chance of time will take me...the list goes on. I do not even know if I will live past this year or even past this day... Life is full of uncertainties. What is at bay this year for each of us is only known by GOD. No matter what plans we make or how detailed we make our schedules, the reality is that our lives are just a mist and we do not even know what will happen tomorrow. In the book of James it is written, "Now listen, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.' Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. In stead you ought to say, 'If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that'."
Only GOD knows what will happen this year and this is precisely my point. In the midst of such a chaotic world where so much uncertainty, fear and unanswered questions exist, there is One who will always remain consistent in our Lives. Our job as humans is not to have all the answers but to have faith in the One who does have all the answers. To love Him, follow Him, live for Him, trust in Him and delight in Him in the midst of all the valleys and peaks that life will bring us through. Will there be struggles and trials along the way? Indeed, there will be. Yet, as Christians out hope does not rest on our circumstances but rather in the GOD whom we believe in and worship. May our trust be in Him alone this year, no matter what we go through, in the joys and the sorrows He is Lord, He is our Savior, our shield and our hope forever. Praise HIM
