As long as we are on this side of heaven, there will be things in our lives that we can worry about and stress over and be anxious about. That is a given. We have to make a choice: do we focus on those things, dwell in anxiety and fear and worry OR do we focus on God and His perfect care and protection and dwell in peace?
I want to focus on God and dwell in peace. For me, it is a moment by moment choice. Right now, anxiety is eating my lunch and I constantly have to remind myself that NOTHING takes God by surprise. Psalm 121 says that He is my keeper, my protector, my helper. He is that for you, too. Rest in it, abide in it. Feel His arm around you.
We are going away on vacation to the Ohio Amish country. I’ve got a ton of writing to do for an upcoming retreat at which I am speaking, so I am not sure how much I’ll be posting for the next couple of weeks. I’ll try to get a few highlights of the trip posted while we are away. Have a great week, dear friends.
