The world is not going to the dogs. The human race is not doomed. Civilization is not going to crash. The captain is on the bridge. Humanity is going through a difficult time, but humanity has gone through difficulties many times before in its long history and has always come through, strengthened and purified.
Do not worry yourself about the universe collapsing. It is not going to collapse, and anyway that question is none of your business. The captain is on the bridge. If the survival of humanity depended upon you or me, it would be a poor lookout for the Great Enterprise, would it not?
The captain is on the bridge. God is still in business. All that you have to do is to realize the Presence of God where the trouble seems to be, to do your nearest duty to the very best of your ability; and to keep an even mind until the storm is over.
Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. (Psalm 119:165).
What a comfort it is to know that the creator of the universe is watching out for each and every one of us and for all of us. That comfort rises to the level of peace when we obey God’s will and live according to God’s laws. Such peace also allows us to overcome life’s unpleasantness and challenges while living in love, faith, joy, gladness and hope. When we know and fully accept that everything which happens to us is meant to be, or can be made to be for our best good, then obstacles become opportunities and challenges become victories. And, life then can become a garden filled with beautiful and healthy life that nurtures us and fills our days with peace, beauty and bounty.
Following the Captain,
Z gardener
