We get bogged down in the "what ifs."
What if I make the wrong decision? What if I fail? What if I succeed? What if I get hurt? What if I hurt someone else? What if it all explodes? What if I hit a bump in the road, or find a bend I didn't see coming? What if it doesn't turn out like I'd planned? What if I don't reach my goal? What if I lose my way? What if I forget God's promises?
We get so distracted and caught up by all the "What Ifs," that we can't ask the "What Is?" - which is the real question to be asking:
What is God doing right now?
What is He calling me to do, right now, today?
The first question may beget a journey.
The second question's answer, I think, may often be found simply in front of us:
Rest. Trust. Obey. Delight.
"Commit your way to Yahweh, trust also in Him, and He will do it. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday. Rest in Yahweh and wait patiently
for Him."
(Psalm 37)
