Living with Uncertainty

How are you doing?

Do you boast or are you humble?

Do you worry or do you trust?

Are you “living it up” or considering your soul’s condition?

Are you making the most of each day, not procrastinating or hesitating, but working according to plans?

Are you praising and thanking God for today’s blessings?
