Tue Feb 25-Caught by Contentment

/

Anxiety thrives on uncertainty—our need to control outcomes, to secure our future, to make sure everything turns out “just right.” Yet Jesus calls us to a different way of living. His way is marked by trust rather than fear. He calls us to rest in contentment now rather than continually chasing the thing that we perceive will lead to contentment tomorrow.

If you took a survey of people on the street today, you may get similar responses to what the disciples told Jesus that others were saying about him centuries ago. Some would say he was a prophet, others a moral teacher, others a mythical person, and others would say that he was and is the Son of God.

Sometimes we are in charge of what’s happening – we are hosting an event, we are leading a meeting, we are the CEO, and people look to us for direction. That doesn’t mean we can’t be helping others as we do this.
