Living Life Backwards - What to Make of It

In today's world, many of us feel the constant pressure to perform and meet the expectations of others, leading to feelings of inadequacy and isolation, often known as impostor syndrome. Church should be a sanctuary where we can be honest about our struggles and embrace our vulnerabilities. The book of Ecclesiastes reminds us that life is unpredictable and full of uncertainties, but God is in control. By surrendering our own plans and desires to God, we can experience the life He has planned for us. This involves letting go of control and trusting in God's limitless power, which highlights our need for a relationship with Jesus and a supportive biblical community. Reflect on areas where you feel pressured to perform, and consider how you can be more vulnerable and honest in your church community. Take steps to surrender control and trust in God's plan, knowing that His plan is greater than our own.
