May 23rd: Trust in What Never Changes

This week, I found myself wrestling with the unknown.

Not in a crisis way—just life being life. Decisions I don’t have answers for. Plans that feel foggy. Expectations I’m trying to live up to that I don’t even remember agreeing to. I kept asking God, “What do You want me to do?” and it felt like silence.

But here’s what I’m realizing: sometimes the clarity I’m craving isn’t going to come from more answers. It comes from returning to what’s already been made clear.

And what’s been made clear is this: Jesus. The Cross. The Gospel. The simple truth that saves and sustains.

In a world that loves noise, strategy, opinions, and complexity, I’ve been reminded to get back to the basics. To not overthink what God has already made plain:

“For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” - 1 Corinthians 2:2

That verse hit me hard this week. Paul wasn’t trying to be flashy or profound. He was saying, “This is the foundation. This is where I stand.”

And when I feel like I don’t know what step to take next, that’s where I want to stand too.

It’s so easy to think we need more. More direction. More clarity. More confidence. But sometimes what we need is to slow down, breathe, and say, “Jesus, I trust You. Your Gospel is enough.”

Even if the path ahead is uncertain… the One who walks with you is not. Even if your plans fall apart… the cross still stands.

So if your week has felt cloudy, noisy, or directionless—maybe it’s time to stop chasing clarity and start clinging to the cross again.
Trust the Gospel. Get back to the basics. And let peace meet you right there.

I hope you all have a great day, and God bless!
