Chatting with Jesus

Wednesday, August 17, 2022

Lord, I am so human. As a Christ-follower, why do I play the game time and again when I know the results will always be the same: unnecessary anxiety. If there were such a thing, I would be an All-Pro player in the “What if” game. These turbulent times cause anxious folks to jump into the game.

“What if I lose my job?”

“What if my health fails?”

“What if the economy crashes and my family loses everything?”

“What if my prodigal loved one never straightens up and gets their act together?”

What if … What if … What if … on and on the game goes.

“Time out!” I hear Your Voice say. “Let me remind you again that I Am the Great I AM who meets all your needs.  You wanna play the ‘what if’ game? Okay, I’ll play with you.”

“What if I give you a better paying, more rewarding job than the one you lost?”

“What if I not only divinely heal your body, but also touch and strengthen you in your soul, and spirit?”

“What if I miraculously sustain and provide for you and your family even if the economy crashes?”

“What if I rescue your prodigal from the pit of destruction and transform him or her into a dynamic Christ-follower?”

“What if … What if … What if … I could go on and on, since I’m the Great I AM and have promised “to meet all your needs according to the riches of My glory in Christ Jesus,” Philippians 4:19.

“What if you just trust Me?”

Amen.
