Your Question:
How can we respond to chaos with courage and faith when our plans are constantly being disrupted?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with chaos and disruption in their lives. When our plans are constantly being disrupted, it can be tempting to lose our composure and doubt God's goodness. But I believe that's exactly when we need to dig deeper into our faith. Faith is not just about knowing God's existence or ability to help us, but about trusting Him with abandon and total confidence. When we venture our all on God, we can find peace and inner calm, even in the midst of chaos. In times of crisis, we often reveal who we truly rely on. If we've been learning to worship God and place our trust in Him, we'll find that our confidence in Him remains unshaken, even when things seem to be falling apart. This is what I call a "peaceful resting in God." It's a sense of oneness with Him that transcends our circumstances. When we trust in God, we can face the future with hope, knowing that He will give us the grace to handle whatever comes our way. So, how can we respond to chaos with courage and faith? It starts with taking action in the present. Rather than getting bogged down in fear and hopelessness, we need to trust God for the future and live for Him in the present. This means entrusting our future to the Lord and trusting Him now, even when we can't see what's ahead. It's a paradox, I know, but it's one that has been lived out by countless Christians throughout history. And it's one that I've seen work in my own life, and in the lives of those I've served as a pastor.
