Getting
older is desired by adolescents seeking independence and greater control over
their destiny. With age comes the privilege of decision-making and the right to
choose a career. But by mid-life, disappointments surface as a consequence of
earlier choices. Facing disappointments is unavoidable, but the way they are managed
depends on your attitude.
Mistakes
and bad choices can be attributed to immaturity, but choosing to learn and
mature requires being receptive to what God wants us to see about ourselves and
to his plan for our future. While mid-life's uncertainties will come, we choose
to cope by submitting our future to Christ Jesus who empowers us to make
helpful choices and changes.
Your
choices permit a shift from trusting your own intelligence and power to trusting
God. Psalm 22:5 assures that those who trust in the Lord will not be
disappointed. "Trust in the Lord and do good and he will cause you to
dwell safely in the land." This is an assurance as well as a choice that ensures
positive change.
