“He who does not desire or fear the uncertain day or capricious fate, is equal to the gods above and loftier than mortals.”Justus Lipsius
In modern life, we often face unexpected events like sudden job changes or health issues. By cultivating a mindset where we accept that uncertainty is a natural part of life, we can navigate these challenges with grace and resilience. For example, instead of fearing the uncertainty of a job interview outcome, we can focus on preparing well and being confident in our abilities, accepting that the final decision is beyond our control.
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 straight your paths.
The verse encourages trust in the Lord with all your heart and to not rely on your understanding. This exemplifies courage in facing uncertain times by having faith and surrendering control to a higher power.
