I used to be uncertain, now I’m not so sure.

The longer I live the more I realise we don’t know much.  Now I’m not saying this because my birthday last week is making me feeling old, but because I have just done my normal “scan the media to see what is going on” and it highlights to me the fact that we are all just guessing. Let me give you a brief synopsis:

In New Zealand the BNZ are saying that the worst is over and housing is going to start recovering now.

Another economist warns that interest rates are going to rise soon.

RBNZ say the opposite that interest rates will stay down.

A prominent commentator here is warning of a further collapse, (his new book coming out in 2 weeks is about that so is biased).

At the same time the National paper has multiple articles about banks taking people to mortgagee and how bad things are getting.

In the USA they are starting to talk of people begging in the streets and total financial collapse, while other commentators are “cautiously optimistic”.

So all this means is that we don’t know the future and all of our years and generations of knowledge, history and skill development means not much when it comes to our future.

So this begs the question, What do we put our hope in?

You all know I have my hope in God and I believe that is a sure anchor in any storm.  But what about you?  What underpins your life, really?

You can be 100% certain that something will go wrong in your life that will rock you.  I have learned that to succeed, say in property investing, requires the ability to be able to get up again and again and again until you get the results you want.  So if my hope was in property, I would have given up long ago.  But the faces of the people in Fiji that I help, the knowledge that God loves me and that is consistent no matter how rich or poor I am, the surety of going to heaven when I die, THESE are the things that under gird my life.

You need something in your life that you can rely on, something that is bigger and stronger than you, something that never changes, something certain.  It’s a fascinating journey if you choose to take it.  I pray that you do!
