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).
How comforting it is to know that our creator sits at the control panel for the universe. If we can but manage our part in the universe, then God assures us that all will be well. This does mean it will all be easy or even pleasant. It does mean that we can be at peace knowing that whatever comes our way will leave us strengthened and purified if we abide by God’s will.
So today, let us take control of ourselves and thereby our part in the world. Let us, with grateful heart say and believe that, “this is the day God has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
Being glad,
