Have you ever allowed your mind to push you into a moment of panic or distress? Most of us have. I am amazed at what we allow our minds to do to us. Some of us have thought and talked ourselves out of some great blessings and opportunities. How many mothers are so quick to think something is wrong with their children just because things seem different in them? I am looking at this budget deal and the sequestration. All around me, I hear and see panic. People are freaking totally out. Not saying that we should be enjoying the moment but can anyone find peace in God at this time? I was looking at this stuff. If things continue in the direction that they are going, I am going to take a pay cut. They are looking at furloughing us for some time. The Department of Defense will send civilian workers home without pay for a few days. Do I want this? No…… Babies, need shoes… As I sat one day listening to folks around me talk, I witnessed the emotions around… Anger… Rage… Fear….Panic… I found myself remembering just how faithful God has been to me in my life. HE provided for me when I didn’t have.. He was my rock when I had no stability.. Protected me when I was exposed… At the moment when I started to go where everyone else was, I remembered God… I was Like “Lord, don’t let me go where all of these folks are going… Give me peace in knowing that I have you and you are my provider.. You own it all anyway..” Since that moment, I have found peace.. When those thoughts enter my mind, I go to the words of David… Let me leave them with some unsure soul this morning..
Psalm 25:17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses..
Start to see that your troubles and concerns are so small in the hands of a BIG God… Refuse to make a big deal out of them and find peace in being a child of GOD.
