Are we determined by  the "ifs" of our lives?  Or are we determined by the certainties of our relationship with God in faith? The "ifs" that the world presents us leaves us in bondage to fear and the uncertainties of our fallen human life. What if I get sick? What if I fail? What if they don't like me? Rather than riding this bronco, we need to move from what if to so what, but a so what founded on our trust in the Lord. The Lord is in charge of our lives. Whether I live or die, whether I am sick or well, whether liked or disliked, I belong to the Lord. The Lord is my strength .In him I move and live.
