What If

When we plan new ventures and scan the landscape for possibilities that stretches before us, our hearts may leap with visions of a fruitful future. But then doubt begins to grow like a weed in our freshly planted field of dreams. The question may be asked with fear creeping and multiplies; What if I run out of money and can’t pay my bills? What if others criticize me without a cause? What if I fail my duties as an individual in which I was called to do? Thousands of questions like these may spring up from negative seeds of fear that lie dormant far beneath the surface of life. Alongside every negative seed of fear, lies positive seed of faith waiting to appear. Money runs out, without a doubt, we must shout aloud, “God will not hide, He will provide." All my needs are met according to His riches in heaven! Others may scoff, but God will smile. I may fall on my face, but God will pick me up. That is the answer to the question of 'What if'?
