One phrase I
respond to when used by others is, "it's all good." The truth is that
not everything is good. Since sin entered the world and man became spiritually
dead things have been impacted by sin and death in every way. It is not that
things are good, but that our God is good and He has absolutely everything
under His control and He reigns over evil and He will work even those things
intended for evil to accomplish His good. So, face the reality that it is not
all good and with that in everything place your trust in our good God. He is
sovereign over absolutely everything. Even in the death of His children there
is the assurance that they step immediately into His presence. And in the case
of those left temporarily behind there is the hope that comes from knowing that
His promises are true and His hand never lets go.
Today I am
praying for a husband of 63 years and his family as his high school sweetheart has
set aside her earthy tent to receive a building eternal in the heavens not made
with human hands.
Today in
“Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young (3/4)
Refuse to
worry! In this world there will always be something enticing you to worry. This
is the nature of a fallen, fractured planet: Things are not as they should be.
So the temptation to be anxious is constantly with you, trying to worm its way
into your mind. The best defense is continual communication with Me, richly
seasoned with thanksgiving. Awareness of My Presence feels your mind with Light
and Peace, leaving no room for fear. This awareness lifts you up above your
circumstances, enabling you to see problems from My perspective. Live close to
Me! Together we can keep the wolves of worry at bay.
“Who of you
by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very
little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” Luke 12:25 – 26
