Is God Freaking Out?

What happened to not worrying? What happened to not living in fear? It seems that most people I know have abandoned ship and dived right into the swirling waters of Fear & Worry.

I'll admit I've teetered on the edge of the boat, filled with trepidation as I contemplate my decision - will I join the others in the icy cold waters, or stay in the safety of His Mercy Ship?

No one wants to die. Not one of us. And no one wants to lose a loved one. No one. So with the whole H1N1 'pandemic' I totally understand the fear of such possibilities. However, I can't help but ask myself, "Isn't the God who created us, loves us, cares for us, sends ten thousand angels to guide us, isn't He aware of what's going on and is His plan still intact?"

Is God freaking out about the 'swine flu'?

What if I do die from it? What if someone I love dies from it? Would God have dropped the ball? Would we all be condemned to a life of misery and heartache?

Maybe, just maybe, He is still in control. Maybe He knows exactly how we feel - vulnerable, scared, unsure, stressed out even. Maybe He's waiting for you to come to Him, right now and tell Him your worries and fears. He'll calm, He'll reassure, He'll surround you with His everlasting light and love.

Believe it. Grab onto the life preserver called Faith...
