Life oh life!

Life has its unpredictable twists and turns as you might have often realised,  with a couple of intriguing events unfolding on a daily basis. There’s never a guarantee of what a day is going to look like, even after all the careful planning and setting systems in place. There are natural occurrences, others decisions and plans…whatever will be, will be!

Additionally, coping with the daily erratic changes of life can be in itself a challenge. With the usual wonder of why, when, where and for how long, one is left in a quagmire of delusion which may lead to a self-destructive route in total surrender to life’s uncertainty.

Well,  it sounds a bit exaggerated but just in the last two weeks i’ve heard and received news and watched events unfold that could throw me off in any direction. News of my dad’s poor health and delicate operation abroad, a distant relative’s death, the birth of my nephew, watched a colleague get a panic attack, enjoyed a weekend visit from my cousin, listened to a close friend’s battle with sickness and so much more!

While this is not even an extreme example, it still holds enough weight to get some people in total disarray giving in to feelings and actions of hopelessness. Perhaps it is the lack of remedy for the various circumstances, the interweaving of emotions, the imperfect timing of the episodes or the oblivious inadequacy that sets it off  and causes one to quit??! One thing I have observed is that many do feel fully responsible for everything, as they have chosen to be their own god; in control of all things. At some point they realise that they’re not in control and collapse! Life oh life!

As a child of God, I have declared Jesus as Lord, giving Him control over everything concerning me. I can therefore trust Him in all situations knowing that in ALL things God works for my good!…even when it doesn’t seem like it! I can rely on the fact that nothing in my life happens by chance because I have given it ALL to Jesus who sees and allows only that which I can bare, to come my way!

While keeping in step with Jesus in the midst of these twists and turns, He leads me, speaks to me, equips me and miraculously transforms me to remedy situations. Each event is so authentic and mind blowing in it’s simplicity of just walking life with Jesus in control; Jesus as LORD!

I encourage you who hope in The Lord and are going through one of the unpredictable twists and turns of life, “Be strong and take heart! Be brave. Don’t give up. Expect God to be working it out.”

As King Solomon wisely put it, there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot…He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. KEEP ON TRUSTING!

If you would like to enjoy the same, why not make Jesus your Lord! You will enjoy confidently walking this life in freedom and without fear!…that’s for sure!
