I’m in a storm right now, but Jesus is Lord of the storm! (Mark 5:35ff, Matthew 8:23-27, Luke 8:22-25)
The storm is that I no longer know where I’ll protect my wife during our first year of marriage, nor do I know much of anything about the 2008-2009 school year (then again, this is an excellent reminder to me to get off of trying to secure my future and get on trusting God for it). I have no reason to believe that God will not provide me for in the future, no matter how bleak it becomes.
Though the future is foggy, I’ve no need to worry–in fact, this may be cause for rejoicing, because my dependence on Christ for comfort (rather than my future–how often I set my security in plans and prospects! Lord!) is increased, and my dependence on future plans that Crystal and I agree upon and are excited about is decreased!
