I follow a page on Facebook called "Walking Through Fire." The page is managed and authored by Vaneetha Randal Risner. Recently she posted something that really convicted me in my spirit. She asked the question about where do we run when we are troubled by life's burdens. Do we run to Google, or do do we run to God for peace? Do we trust that God already has the plan and the situation in his control, or do we think we have to control and manage the situation?
The truth of the matter is that more information that I might find on Google is not going to give me more peace about the difficult situations I am encountering in my life. Resting in the Lord and trusting in Him is the only thing that can do that. Seeking the Lord's presence is the only thing that can accomplish that goal. Matthew 6:34 tells us that each day has enough trouble of its own, so why worry about tomorrow. I think we tend to think that if we have enough information we have some kind of control over the future. Only the Lord has that kind of control, and He promises to be with us and guide us each step of the way. Let's just rest in Him.
