What Do I Do?
We live in uncertain times. The way is not clear, and it has gotten so complex I am not sure anyone knows anymore which direction to go or whose fault it is or who has an answer. Throughout history each generation has its moments: different challenges, fears, or failures. Each generation probably tends to see their challenges as the greatest, as the most defining challenges ever. Our generation is at just such a moment. It is both the severity of the issues and the number of issues. Pick your crisis. We are in a war where the end has gotten confusing. The housing bubble has popped and is severely affecting the economy. Who knows what is happening on Wall Street other than a lot of greed and a lot of bad politics. We are lead to believe we should be living in complete fear of our environment. We also have some real moral issues in our culture on the verge of exploding. I mean we really kind of have a “sky is falling” thing going on here. And the amazing this is, a lot of Americans could care less because they are so overwhelmed by their own crisis: overwhelming debt, taking care of parents whose health is failing on one end and kids who are failing on the other. And it goes on and on. I can't list all the different things that are overwhelming us as families or individuals. Let's just go watch TV. Maybe tomorrow it will all be fixed. One thing is for sure, and we see it in every thing I have mentioned: pretending there is not problem is not going to fix anything. So what do we do? There lies the problem. The answer seems so complex and so hard and so much change. Let's go back to just watching TV. No. That is not an answer. Jesus, on the other hand is. And He is the Master of clarity. You want to know what to do, where to go, how to get there?
