We are like the people who left Egypt.




* Luís Alberto Alves

Like the people of that time, we acted identically. Any wind is a reason for concern to enslave our minds. We always think of the worst, never the best. Even the great promises regarding the ministerial future, professional, university, sentimental or family, for some time we leave aside.

It is at this stage that the Christian becomes addicted to the revelations. The Word of God is put aside and what counts is what they will say about our future, even if it is a liar. We condition the mind to hear only what is good. If someone says something that will cause pain, for correction purposes, it is not well received.

Jesus Christ has dominion over time. He knows what will happen in the future of each person. Everything is recorded in his book, as written in Psalm 139. The days of joy and sorrow, of plenty and empty table, of walking in the multitude, and of walking long ways in solitude, and even when money appears little in the checking account.

When the Lord counsels the servant to pay attention only on the day he is living it is for our own good. We can not interfere in the future. Or stop the clock of time, so that everything is to our liking. We need to leave this burden of worry in the hands of Jesus Christ. He has every way to solve this question.

 When we look back, we realize how good God is toward us. Of the wrong decisions we do not make. Of the wrong friendships we set aside, of the closed mouth at the right time, of the times when we stayed inside when the darkness planned accidents or even robberies against us, if we were on the street.

Sometimes Jesus warns the servant, but stubbornness insists on doing what is wrong. He himself said of the existence of "ways which are good in our eyes, but to God is abyss". In order to have a life free from worry, we need to trust the Lord more than children do toward their parents. In the hands of Jesus, we are children.
