Want some peace?

Where I live on the East Coast, the weather sure has been fickle this winter. For about a week or so in January, we had high temperatures in the 60s and sometimes 70s. Then, about a week later, our lows dipped to 12 degrees and we had three snow and ice events. Then last month, we set a record high of 70 the week after we had snow and ice. The old adage about, “If you don’t like the weather, wait 24 hours” has never been truer around here.

It’s been a challenge to know what to wear in this rapidly changing weather. One day I wear short sleeves and no socks. The next I’m wearing thermal tops and insulated boots. It’s been really hard to predict what’s coming next.

But then that’s life, isn’t it? Life is predictable occasionally, but more often than not, life zigs one way one day and zags the other way the next day. And it’s pretty hard to figure out which day is a zig and which day is a zag until after they happen. That’s why listening to life today for what God has to say is so important to making a life. God gives you peace and hope in life’s constant change.
