With the unrest in the housing economy and dismal predictions for 2024, it could be easy to become uneasy. But because our ultimate trust is in our heavenly father, we can remain stable.

When there is a hurricane, some birds that dwell at sea will keep flying in the eye of the storm where it is calm. Then when the storm moves inland, they seek refuge on land. They find a way to find peace in the middle of the storm. How do they arrive at this strategy? From God’s direction, not by panicking.

Similarly, God is always willing and ready to vector us correctly when there are distracting stormy noises whether they are from the economy, our personal or business lives. We can still find peace in the middle of the chaos.

We will continue to seek His guidance and trust that He is leading when we choose our next move. Even if it turns out to not be ideal, He has the power to doctor it into a benefit or blessing.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

(NASB, Proverbs 3:5-6)
