Anchoring ourselves

Being in the process of buying a new home, I have been really worrying about money. Maybe not the money itself but the lack of control I have over it. I can't name someone that doesn't have something really weighing them down right now, whether it be money, relationships, loss, sickness, or whatever. We have all these plans for our lives and we are continually disappointed and let down, by people, by situations, by life just not turning out the way we had planned. People will fail, buildings will fail, jobs will fail, everything in this world will fail, but our one constant is God. He has really been teaching me lately about focusing on Him and changing my worldview. Trusting in Him isn't going to make my plans better, it's going to make His plans better. When we start to anchor onto things of this world, people, money, jobs, whatever, we will be disappointed because all of that is fallible. When we anchor ourselves in God we know we are safe. And the really cool part of that is that God doesn't change. He was the same God with the same attributes when He delivered the Israelites from Egypt as when He watched His Son put to death on the cross. Trusting and having faith in Him doesn't change the fact that this world will fail us, but it will give us the strength knowing we have our feet firmly planted on the one thing that will never (ever ever ever) change.
