- Turning What Ifs Into Even Ifs
As I’ve continued my Titus Bible study, a question was posed that stopped me in my tracks: What if we turned our “what ifs” into “even ifs”? Almost immediately, my mind went to the MercyMe song “Even If.” If I’m honest, I found myself quietly singing some of the lyrics as I sat with that question.
I’ve loved that song since the first time I heard it, but I needed the reminder it offers—a call back to standing firmly on its message: “I know You’re able and I know You can save through the fire with Your mighty hand, but even if You don’t, my hope is You alone.”
If you’re able, I encourage you to listen to the song right now and let those words settle into your heart.
The Titus Bible study writers, Courtney Doctor and Hunter Beless, remind us, “Scripture instructs us to wait eagerly, patiently, with increasing holiness, and at peace. That kind of waiting feels impossible unless our hope is anchored somewhere secure.
We are able to turn our “what ifs” into “even ifs” because our hope is anchored in Christ. He is our stronghold. “I love You, LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock where I seek refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold” (Psalm 18:1–2).
What might it look like if we lived each day with this posture? When a relationship sours, a job is lost, a diagnosis is critical, depression lingers, or a loved one is taken by death—how might our response change if we could say, “Even if…”?
I believe that as we learn to live this way, we will grow deeper in our walk with Christ. We will come to recognize His faithfulness as we watch Him work—not only if things change, but even if they don’t.
