Rest of God = Don’t worry

 

Life can cause us to be so anxious.

We can easily worry about when something is going to happen.

We fret over how long we have to wait.

We can worry about how everything is going to come together.

Frustration can pile up over closed doors when we’re waiting for the right one to open.

Confusion can set in our minds when we had plans to go right and life made us go left.

With all the anxiousness, worry, fretting, figuring out, frustration, and confusion, there is an answer.

The answer to our situations is to rest in God.

What does rest mean?

Rest means that we believe in God so strongly that HE is in control, that we don’t allow our minds to have draining emotions.

Believe that God is working in your life, because HE is.

Believe that God will do the best for you in your circumstance, because HE loves you and wants the best for you.

Rest in God knowing that HE can make a way when there seems no way, and that you will follow HIS prompting when HE shows you what to do.

Hebrews 4:3

 ^{3 “}For we who have believed (adhered to and trusted in and relied on God) do enter that rest…”

Really

I really understand that the phrase, “Don’t Give Up,” is common and used to ease the mind to those who are seeking some form of a breakthrough.

Really common phrases, because of their commonness can lose its impactful-ness. But really and truly, I say to you, Don’t Give Up!

If there is any area in your life that you want to see change, you want to see growth, you want to have healing and peace over, then don’t give up on seeking the answer.

Now, God is our answer to everything, and HE has a plan to help you, but you can’t give up.

If you really want change, then don’t give up. If you really want healing, then continue to seek God and seek the way HE wants to take you through your situation; you WILL go through your situation and come out better on the other side…really!

I trust God’s timing!

Love Again

Wouldn’t you Agree?

 

Our last Scripture Sunday post was quite a long read…

wouldn’t you agree?

But, the reason I chose that scripture, is because of the wonderful points that are written with such poetic flow; if you really read that scripture carefully, I think you would agree.

The scripture that was posted is Psalm 139…

It is such a great awakening moment of realizing how much God is with you, knows you, and is here to guide you and lift you up.

I think that you would agree with me when I say that knowing God formed each one of us and HIS wonderful thoughts towards us out-weigh the grains of sand, is something we should focus on; especially on our cloudy days.

Really comb through Psalm 139. Open yourself up to how much God loves you and understands you. If we all focused on the goodness of God, HIS presence in our day, and HIS divine order to our steps, we would all be living a little more freely and peacefully…wouldn’t you agree?

Monday’s Mantra

God is opening the right doors for me...

and

closing all of the wrong ones!


 

Scripture Sunday: Psalm 139

 

 

Psalm 139:

 

“Director of Music. Of David. A Psalm.”

 

 

 

1 “O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.

2 You know when I sit and when I rise;

you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3 You discern my going out and my lying down;

you are familiar with all my ways.

4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.

5 You hem me in--behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

7 Where can I go from your Spirit?

Where can I flee from your presence?

8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10 even there your hand will guide me,

your right hand will hold me fast.

11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,"

12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!

How vast is the sum of them!

18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.

19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

20 They speak of you with evil intent;

your adversaries misuse your name.

21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you?

22 I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.

24 See if there is any offensive way in me,

and lead me in the way everlasting.”
