This week was one of those that I knew exactly what I'd write about. However, each day passed and I missed the opportunity. You see, I write best in the mornings. Not sure if it's the limited distractions, a product of my habit of practicing my spiritual disciplines in the morning, or something else entirely. Most of my afternoon writing is intelligible and requires numerous edits. In the AM, however, they seem to make more sense.
What's funny is that as I am writing, I am feeling God moving. He's moving from what I thought I was to write about to what He wants me to share. These shifts and changes are a part of the shipping industry. Things happen that modify shipping schedules. Weather may prevent a ship from coming in or leaving port. The cargo may take longer than expected to unload or a load may be cut short because the shipper cancelled an order last second. Trucks may have accidents that block the entrance to the port. There are many variables that modify shopping schedules.
What's the point? Things change. Many times they change and we can't do a thing about it. We may feel helpless and as if we are a ship crashing in the waves with no captain. It can be frustrating and terrifying. These changes may impact our plans and what we thought we could do. They may steal our vision for what we thought was ahead.
Thankfully, there is a place where we can have peace. There is a choice we can make that changes everything. There is a choice we can make that will overcome the uncertainty of change. A few weeks ago I wrote about change. I spoke about Jesus being the constant throughout all change.
When we place our trust in Jesus and decide to follow Him, we decide to strive to join him in being the constant. That means in the face of the uncertainty of change we are called to be light in the darkness (Matt 5:16). That is a place Anchor House serves. In the face of uncertainty, we are the constant. We are the calm.
