Prepared!

An expected delivery of a new fridge-freezer got us out of bed earlier this morning. We emptied the old broken one and shifted it outside for pick-up, then cleaned underneath and prepared the space for the new one to go.

Looking down the driveway, we realised some of the tree branches are hanging low, especially with the load of water from overnight rain. Out came the ladder and the ‘loppers’, and as Don climbed and stretched and lopped, I steadied him on the ladder and prepared to catch him if he fell (hah!).

We don’t know when the lorry will arrive, nor how big it will be. But we have made some preparations.

We are living through incredibly uncertain times. Government guidelines one day are apt to change the next. Nobody really knows the way forward; everyone is scrambling in the dark to find the safest way to return to ‘normal’ life.

We don’t know when lock-down will lift, nor how that will look and what it will mean. Many are extremely uncertain, not knowing even if they will have jobs. How can we prepare?

Be still and know that I am God. In times of uncertainty, (as in all times), he is our first port-of-call, our rock. Being still and knowing is the best way to prepare, for as our faith is strengthened, our confidence returns and we move forward in trust.
