Worried? Yes!

 What if… worries were just being watchful for the blessing that is to come? Watching and waiting for the Lord regarding something specific.

And not a sign of lack of faith or trust in Him. Not of sign of fear of God’s absence or disinterest.

What if worry was an alertness to the anticipation of God taking care of something?

My husband will be traveling for an extended weekend soon. Lots of plans and coordinating to be made. Connections to orchestrate. And lots of places where things might not go exactly as planned. Juggling the options of a Plan B. And safety issues. Plenty of unknowns. Makes it easy to overthink. Overfret.

We know things don’t always go smoothly, even with our best efforts at anticipating and planning. Especially when traveling and trying to make numerous arrangements connect.

My old self wants to itemize (and yes, pray with wringing hands) every possible scenario that might lead to a setback and disrupt the flow of a safe and enjoyable trip. But “I am doing a new thing,” says the Lord. (Isaiah 43:18)

So, so will I.

I will see every worry as an opportunity to see the Lord in action. I will watch and wait and see His faithful love and care.

As in Psalm 27:13 -

I remain confident in this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

I will watch for Your loving grace, Lord.

I watch for Your loving grace.
