The most valuable thing we can possess is a clean conscience, knowing that all things are good with God. It gives me confidence that I can enter into His presence and talk about my hurts and fears and longings. I know that He hears and will respond. I am not saying that He is my genie and will perform as I ask but I know He is my provider, He is sovereign over all my circumstances and I am confident that He loves me. His will is always best even when I don't understand His ways clearly.
Watching the news these days can be very troubling. There are wars, ecological disasters, invisible viruses killing people, wildfires destroying homes...the list goes on and on. A person could become insecure and worried about the future of our country or health. The truth is- everyone dies- 100%- no exceptions. We will all come to the end of life in our mortal bodies one day and we will stand before our Maker and give account for the precious gift of life that He entrusted to us.
What a precious and beautiful experience it will be for the person who lived with a passion for pleasing God. We must not wait until we are dying in the hospital or nursing home to try and please Him. We must strive to know Him intimately and please Him here and now. It's the safest place we can be in these troubled times- under the wing of God.
