The other night I awoke of such plagued thoughts of worry.
I had been dreaming I was in a library searching for something.
I heard a voice whisper Psalm 27:9, Psalm 27:9.
When I awoke I had the psalm on my mind.
At first I was immobile with a tired body and spirit.
The Lord urged me to get up and renew my mind and calm my heart with his word.
I opened the book, eyes adjusting and as the pages fell upon the psalm I felt peace spread over me.
I began to read and felt my spirit cry the same cry.
I read on and felt the Lord say “Chris, rest in me.”
I look at David’s time hiding from Saul and having to trust the Lord with his life.
He was an outcast hiding like an animal in caves and distant places.
I’m sure at times his men would say “David I think we should run now!”
We even see that David had an opportune time to take Saul life yet he halted in spite of his men calling to kill him.
I see such trust in the Lord and acceptance of his will with David and support by the body of Christ.
I want to take control every day and act as if I have it altogether with everything but the fact is I don’t.
The Lord led me to the Race and has provided for me thus far yet my flesh still wants to take control, but the Lord is giving me peace to rest in him.
We must wait in his word and will and find strength in the fact that we were chosen to spread his beautiful message to his people across the world.
I am learning what is means to listen and wait upon the Lord in spite of the fact that I am so impatient.
I want the peace that surpasses understanding that Paul talks about.
The Gospel is so simple yet I complicate it daily.
Yearn for the Lord with your heart and trust in him.
By doing this you look at Jesus in the eyes and say “Yes Lord your word is enough and I believe it.”
For when I doubt and become worried with the things of this world I doubt his promises.
I thank God we have the word to renew ours hearts in addition to the body of Christ to walk with in confidence.
Don’t let the enemy whisper lies into your eyes.
Now is the time to cling to the living word and build the walls of Christ around you.
Trust and wait upon the one who waited for us to come to him. He pursues us with such Love and mercy. What a good God we serve.
