Peace in the Storm

Time flies, especially when you are well into your late thirties, speaking for myself here. This last week had been pretty bizzarre for me. Bad news, sad news, crazy news.. you name it and I had it this week. So much so I had to dig into my reserves and well, be still and acknowledge that God knows and he still is. Under these circumstances, only the peace from God that passes all understanding is needed and useful, like a soothing balm that keeps me focus on the goal and not the journey. In times when your heart is restless and in anguish, the best thing to do is to wait on God, stop your incessant 'talk', be still and give God a chance to speak to your spirit. You will definitely be refreshed! That's a promise from him.

Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Isaiah 40:28-31

Sometimes I think we resort to worrying whenever things don't go our way, or as planned, by worrying we think we are helping when we should be doing something more productive. I know it is easier said than done but seriously why are we having a form of godliness while denying its' power? Is there something lacking in our lives or rather something wrong with our walk with Jesus? Or are we walking, threading along the straight and wide path that leads to destruction? Thinking we are still walking on the right path? Are we? Do we care? I pray that God will have the grace and mercy to bring us back to the path of holiness and righteousness. Ever wonder why we are caught in situations where we are uncertain whether to proceed or to turn back? Maybe, just maybe we are walking in darkness without the lamp of His word. So it is back to His word..

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Psalm 119:105

I need to meditate some more on what I have written... I am in the storm, Lord grant me peace within...
