but a kind word cheers it up. Proverbs 12:25

With all the things going on in the world today it is not hard to feel anxious. The past can be troubling, the present confusing, and the future can look terrifying and uncertain. Reading or watching current events it is obvious that many things are just upside down. Times are changing, people are changing and in the mist of all this we crave certainty amid the uncertainty. The Bible can help us, and that is where I turn when I need answers. Gods’ specialty is reversing what seems to be irrevocable damage and then righting what is wrong.

As we grow older values change, relationships change, and your outlook on life changes. Our health is not what it once was, we pick our battles, and we become more understanding. As Gods people we long for reversal of injustice and the release of sin’s deadly grip on people we love. We want our loved ones to believe in Gods promises and not focus on worldly rewards, because today’s apparent winners do not always represent Gods ultimate victors.

Today I am asking myself where I find my identity, and what drives me? My answer is simple, God. The world embroils us in self-centered, power-driven, superficial pursuits. We see it every day, humanity is greedy and unstable. It is no wonder we have anxiety and depression. The world can way down our hearts and God knows it. He left us verses like Psalms 12:25 to help us deal with the world. Even if we never understand what God is doing, He is worthy of our trust.
