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.
