Faith and the Swine Flu

Wow! There sure seems to be a lot of attention on the Swine Flu this week huh? It's a real shame that people all over the world are being affected by this thing and I hate that some are even dying. But this whole deal got me thinking about my life and where I put my trust. Is my trust in hand sanitizer? Is my trust in staying out of public places or refusing to shake hands? Or is my trust in the Lord Jesus Christ? I want to believe that Jesus is in control over every part of my life...even if I happen to catch some horrible disease someday. This world is under a curse and only jesus can set it right in the end. But for now, all I can do is trust Him and stop worrying about all the little things that I run across every day. Fear can drive me to withdraw. Fear can keep me up at night. Fear can paralyze me. That's why I have to learn to put my faith and trust in jesus for every part of my life, every single day. Lord, I love you and I know that You are ultimately in charge of this universe. I trust that anything you allow to come my way, you will use for my good somehow, because I love you and I trust you. Help me during my times of doubt and uncertainty. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
