Have you heard about FoMO?
The “Fear of Missing Out” is the latest trend. This phobia can cause endless checking of social media, as well as feelings of anxiety and depression. But Christ-followers have no need to take part in the FoMO fad because we have this fantastic promise from God:
Psalm 84:11 assures us that we will not miss out on even one good thing if we are following Christ.
But we are often tempted to feel that God is holding out on us, aren’t we? We think, if only God would give me the good thing of better health; if only He would give me the good thing of that relationship I want; if only He would give me the good thing of more money or a different job. We wonder how we can get God to just let us have that good thing that He is holding back from us.
But when we believe that God is withholding a blessing from us, our thoughts are rooted in deception. God withholds no good thing from those who follow hard after Him.
There is no generosity like the generosity of God toward His people. He is absolutely lavish in His love.
We can trust Him.
We can trust Him with our marriages. We can trust His instructions to us. We can trust His plans. We can trust Him with our needs, with our disappointments, and with our longings. We can trust Him with our lives.
Joining you in living FoMO-free,
