The Apple/Damus situation today caused me to remember an incident with a co-worker many years ago who had the rug pulled out from under him at a previous gig.
He was so anxiety ridden and worried that the same thing would happen at our current job that it caused all of us to worry and be hyper vigilant that our current employment was constantly just a second away from vanishing.
There was an element of truth in his assessment. We worked in entertainment.
But the gig we were all so worried would vanish lasted another 15 years.
Blindsides happen all the time.
If there is an up, there will assuredly be a down. And there will assuredly be another up again.
However, for me, I am continuously learning to stay in the moment and do the next thing.
Over-reactive panic and anxiety hasn’t helped me in the past.
It’s just caused me to pull my focus away from the next important thing I want to be doing for God and my family.
Jesus is on the throne. His Kingdom will come.
Lord, help me to just do the next right thing.
Peace for you brothers and sisters.
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:6-7
