Do you sometimes fall into the world of what if? It’s a tricky place that can consume your waking hours and even your dreams. I don’t like being there, but go there, I do. Too often.

Mark Twain once said in his later years: “I have known a great many troubles, but most of them have never happened.” Do you agree? Looking back, I see it as a truism of life.

Here are some of my what ifs:

What if I miss my flight?

What if the internet goes out?

What if the pipes freeze?

What if I miss a deadline?

What if I lose my job?

What if someone close to me falls ill?

What if I don’t have enough money for retirement?

What if…..?

Hebrews 12:1-2 “…let us lay aside every weight…looking to Jesus, the founder and perfection of our faith…”

I want to live in the freedom of my faith in Jesus Christ, casting aside all of my what ifs.
