What is My 31st Day?

Why worry?

I was out running personal errands this morning. It was a beautiful day and I was listening to one of my favorite Cd's (John Fischer-Dark Horse). I was really relaxed and enjoying the drive. It made me think. Even though I am in the midst of this job search and I cant seem to shake this sickness, why am I not more worried than I actually am? Shouldn't I be a basket case of worry? What will happen to my home? What will happen to my family? Where will we go? What will we do? I really should be worried right? But for some reason I just cant get bothered by the surrounding circumstances. There's just something inside that makes me know everything is going to be alright. If I could explain it I would. Oh wait! I can explain it. Psalm 119:165 "Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them." When all you are, and all you have is in the Lord, you will have great peace in the middle of the storms. Oh, how I love being in Christ Jesus. I know that no matter what comes my way, He will be there to help me. Nothing happens that he hasn't ordained. He is watching all the time and making sure I am following his direction. As long as I do, nothing will harm me. I am so thankful for the "peace that passeth all understanding", Philippians 4:7. If it were not for that peace, I would surely be a basket case. All I can do, all I want to do, is trust in Him who knows everything. Besides, He must have seen something in me that made Him trust me with this battle. If I couldn't handle it He would have never let me see this valley, right? I am thankful for his peace. When the world seems to be running to and fro, trying to find their way, I will rest in Him. Its a great feeling if you don't know what it feels like. You can know. Its very simple. Believe me, there's nothing like it. God bless. Have a wonderful day.

  1. Aaaaahhhhhhh - yes - I know exactly what you are saying. It's sort of like you are in THE river, flowing downstream, moving in the correct direction without really considering the direction of the flow because you are right there in the midst of peace, in the middle of God. God is SO good! a
