We live uncertain lives with not many guarantees. There is a lot we don't know. But that doesn't shake us if we have faith in God. Rather, it gives us peace. We can never be sure about what returns we will get, or whether we will receive generosity in return for the love we show. We don't know the works of God, or how the simple facts and patterns of life work. It's not our business to know these things; and we should still be wise, generous, loving, and humble now, in the present. We don't need to know everything, because we have a heavenly Father Who cares for our needs so we don't have to worry. In light of all the uncertainties of life, we need to get up and do something. We must work and sow our seeds while the seed-time is still here -- it won't last forever. Don't let your life be ruined by worry, indecision, or procrastination. Make biblical, practical, wise decisions; and work in trust and faith in God, leaving the outcomes with Him. If we have faith in Christ, this is freedom. We can trust in our God Who loves us, cares for us, and has redeemed us. This makes us free to work wisely and love generously without being shackled by fear.
