Life is a continuous process of getting used to things we hadn’t expected. It’s a good thing that a baby has no memory of coming into the world. How could that child describe it? The light at the end of the tunnel, those creatures, the cold, and that slap for reasons unknown. No doubt if he could say something, it would be, “Take me back where I came from. Then again, where did I come from.”
I’m seventy-one and I tell you I’m still experiencing the unexpected and it still shocks me. What does the Bible have to say of this phenomenon? Glad you asked.
James 4:13-14
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring.
Because of this certainty, please don’t journey into tomorrow alone, without the One who framed you.
Give it some thought.
