Life has a way of surprising us--sometimes with joy, other times with challenges we never saw coming. The truth is, none of us knows what tomorrow holds, and at times, that uncertainty can feel heavy. But in the middle of the unknown, there is one thing we can choose: hope.
Right now, many farmers are feeling the weight of uncertainty. Lack of profit, export difficulties, and rising costs, have left some wondering how they'll make it. For families who depend on the land, each day brings new worries--will there be enough money to keep going? While there is such concern, in the midst of the struggle, there are stories of faith. I've heard about a farmer who spoke at a politically hosted meeting concerning farmers, state "The Lord gave me this land, He can provide again. I believe He is still in control". That is what choosing hope looks like — it doesn't erase the struggle or the need for help, but it plants a seed of faith in the midst of the hardship.
Remember God's faithfulness. Reflect on past seasons where He has carried you through. Replace "What if' everything falls apart?" with "What if God shows up in ways I can't imagine?". Whether it's scripture, worship, or wise council, let encouragement be louder than fear. When we choose hope, we aren't denying reality--we're choosing to believe that God is greater than what we see right now. Hope lifts our eyes from the chaos and puts them back on the One who holds tomorrow. And in that place, we find peace, strength, and even joy while we wait.
If you're walking through uncertainty today--whether in finances, family, or faith--know this: you don't have to have all of the answers. you only need to hold on to the God who does. Choose hope, even if it feels small. It's enough, because He is enough.
Much Love,
Beth
