We all reach points in our life where we don't know what is going to happen to us. Our fate seems sealed just beyond the horizon, and we don't feel like we have control. What will happen to us? It is easy to worry when things are not in our control, but I think it helps to reflect on what the Dalai Lama once said. "If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry."
We're getting close to the summer and a lot of us don't know where we're going or what we're doing. Yes, we do have the power to influence our futures, but how do we know what path to take? I wish I could give some simple profound answer that makes everything clear, but I can't. That's not my job. The best I can do is leave you with a catch all no-matter-what-happens sort of verse.
"He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God."
Micah 6:8
