Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the complexity of life – from the tiny details to the overall big picture? The Psalmist, however, looks at the chaos created by humanity’s incessant scheming and asks incredulously, “why do you plot in vain?” The reality, despite appearances, is that there is one who is in control. When we trust, submit to, and serve him, we can navigate the modern world with clear confidence and hope, expectant of the Lord’s blessing.
