Creating Something from Nothing

There they were, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to dread. Psalm 53:5a

It's interesting to me how some people cannot grasp the concept of God creating the universe - making something from nothing.

I seem to do it all the time.

Jesus tells us to be anxious for nothing, but I am such an expert at worry. Very few days go by without me creating something from nothing - worrying about what might happen rather than what is. I am like the fool in David's psalm - overwhelmed with dread where there is nothing to dread.

Lord, why do I struggle to trust You? Everyday, You prove Yourself faithful. Yet so often I am frozen by the fear of being forgotten by You. Will You hold me? Will You give me eyes to see Your plan? Will You help me to leave the creating, the making of something from nothing, up to You.

Be my God. Be my strength today.
