Resting and Not Worrying

While studying the Word this morning I had another disturbed feeling that hit my spirit.  I am most comfortable when my mind is clear, and I can focus on what I am reading. but there was an urgency in the need for me to pray. and seek God's face.  Usually when these feelings arise I am in a place where I am in the presence of God.  Lately I have been there more than usual.  I have found myself going into the presence of God several times in a day.

It is no mystery that something is happening in this world, and my mind and spirit has been hungry for the wisdom and knowledge of God.  I have been making sure to guard the ear and eye gates of my children.  They are aware of what is going on, but I do not want them to be overwhelmed by what the world has become.  As I write this I am almost unwilling to turn on the T.V., but I do so for the sake of obtaining some information.  Instead of looking at the news I put it on cartoons to keep the kids engaged.  As adults we are aware of everything that is going on, and life can be very overwhelming.  I am glad that I have the assurance of God, and his spirit to be a guide.  If you do not believe that does not mean that you do not have a place of solace to keep you grounded during the tough times.

While I was perusing in the Bible God led me to the book of Psalms, and I came to the 46th chapter.  Within this chapter I have found a sense of comfort.  I had even taken the time to read these scriptures to my children.  There is something very significant about the 6th verse, and how it is relevant to the times that we are currently experiencing.  Psalms 46:6 says "Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice. the earth melts. " 

I personally believe that God does not want us to live in fear.  Even though these are perilous times we have to maintain a level of trust in WHO, or WHAT we believe in.  God has never failed on ANY promise that he he has made, and WE can believe that HE is still in control.  I will leave these scriptures for you to view, and hope that you can find solace in the WORD.  Until next time may God bless you with peace and prosperity.

Psalms 46

God is our refuge and strength,

    an ever-present help in trouble.

 

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way

    and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

3 

though its waters roar and foam

    and the mountains quake with their surging.[c]

4 

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,

    the holy place where the Most High dwells.

5 

God is within her, she will not fall;

    God will help her at break of day.

6 

Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;

    he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

7 

The Lord Almighty is with us;

    the God of Jacob is our fortress.

8 

Come and see what the Lord has done,

    the desolations he has brought on the earth.

9 

He makes wars cease

    to the ends of the earth.

He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;

    he burns the shields with fire.

10 

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;

    I will be exalted among the nations,

    I will be exalted in the earth.

The Lord Almighty is with us;

    the God of Jacob is our fortress
