That was from President Trump yesterday. Pretty scary what’s going on right now, but I’m taking this verse as my message from God to us all today when this showed up two different places for me in my appointment with Him this morning:
“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]” – John 16:33 (AMP)
I don’t know about you, but I’m holding on to God’s hands super tight right now. It feels like we’re on an airplane going through lots of turbulence, but I’m trusting our Captain (God) to get us safely through. That means we can be of good cheer, positive, and joyful knowing that God is GREATER than ANYTHING that can come against us.
Even going into the food store is such a risk that I ask, “God, is it OK for me to go?” And then I listen. Feelings of peace are what I look for. If I feel anxious, doubt, or stressed out about going in a certain direction, that’s God saying, “No, don’t do that.” Which was me on Sunday, when I tossed around the idea of my daughters picking up some medication for my mom. I was very uneasy about it, and I felt God saying that I should go. This was after my daughters accused me of trying to kill them by sending them out! LOL!
Let’s not miss out on this opportunity to make our relationship stronger with God, though. I’m back to being God’s girl, resting on His heart and making decisions from that perspective – God, what would You have me to do here? Where would You have me to go? What would You have me to say? “Every relationship. Every decision. Every circumstance.” Everything is between God and us, not between us and anyone else, and I want us living a life pleasing to Him where we honour Him in all our actions and TRUSTING that He can help us navigate through any turbulence. Amen.
