The Lucky Ones.

I would have lost heart, unless I been confident that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.  Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord.  Psalm 27:13-14

There is a lot of uncertainty in my world these days. And with that? A lot of differing opinions and perspectives. One thing that I have started noticing?

We're the lucky ones.

Imagine the pain and anxiety of this new world without the peace and comfort of our God?

Think about how it would feel to worry that this things you've dreamed of may not ever be a reality, without the confidence that He's not finished with you yet?

What about confusion and anger? How would you cope without the embrace of the Father?

And there are plenty APs out there who aren't leaning on Him right now.

So, tonight as I sat down tonight after reading several things this afternoon that really disturbed me.

And a few things that downright hurt my already-aching heart.

I thanked God.

Because, in the midst of all this uncertainty? 

I am certain of one thing...

I would have lost heart if I didn't have such confidence in Him.

See?

We're really, very lucky.
