Uncertainty is one thing we can certainly count on in life.

I’m certainly going through a period of uncertainty. As I reflect on these Passages from the last week, the theme becomes clearer.

My future is in Your hands
Psalm 31.15.a
This reminder is difficult to take when I want to control all the outcomes. However, ultimately my life and times are in His hands.

John Mayer Heart of Life

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who’s misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
John Mayer
I don’t normally post lyrics to my song selection. However, John Mayer’s song flows so well with the theme, I thought it would be good to give his lyrics a double-take.

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6.34
There are times and seasons when I literally try to live 1 day at a time. I don’t know what tomorrow holds. I’m not there yet. I’m here today.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
Psalm 32.8
I like this Scripture but I was delighted to stumble upon the unique translation which follows.

Finding rest here:
The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.”
Psalm 32:8
Rev. Rebecca Foster

Ps 119:160 LXX, ἀρχὴ τῶν λόγων σου. The head (rosh) or beginning or principle of your words is truth.
Prof. Fred Sanders
This is taken from the Septuagint (LXX) the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible in the days of Christ. Uncertainty abounds when there is no clear flow of truth.
