How is it possible to rest and relax when the world is in such turmoil and distress.
Everywhere you look there is confusion, everything you read there is nothing positive, but only words that ignite fear. Everyone is speaking of a virus that will destroy and even though the cases grow few in number, peoples minds are being polluted with the disease. The virus will consume us in our everyday life, if we don’t take steps to overcome it. Many don’t know how to set it aside and live life to the fullest. It seems there is no longer vision beyond, nor is there any hope for the future, because they are caught in the trap of fear and gradually losing their faith.
However, I bring good news, all is not lost, it is possible to Rest, Relax and Rejoice when you surrender it all to the Lord. He did say we would have tribulation, but He also added be of good cheer for He has overcome the world and all of its fears.
Instead of reading the news and feeding your mind with negative statements, rest in Him and meditate on His promises! How lovely it is to trust in the Lord with all of our heart, soul and mind and set everything else aside. It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm and do not let yourselves be burdened again with a yoke of bondage. Let us instead walk In our freedom! Don’t worry about tomorrow, live in the moment all we have is the here and now. The Lord doesn’t want us to look that far ahead for tomorrow will have problems of its own. Matthew 6:34
In Psalm 91 verse 1, He invites you to His secret place, where you will find peace and rest. A sacred place to relax in His presence.
It is also possible to rejoice in Him when we keep our eyes on Him and focus our minds on Him. Look around you in all He has created for us to enjoy. Rejoice in His faithfulness and mercies that are new every morning. Rejoice In His goodness and His love everlasting that He pours upon us each day. Rejoice in all of His blessings! We have so much to be thankful for and think about all He has brought you through over the years. Rejoice in His greatness and He Is greater than any disease or virus. When we read His word It causes our hearts to rejoice! Keep your eyes and minds away from worthless things.
If ever we needed the Lord it Is now, now is the time, to take the time to spend with Him. How much time do you take to enjoy His presence and His pleasures which are measureless? Are you stressed, feeling overwhelmed with all that’s going on lately? Give it all up and receive His power and strength to overcome fear. Jesus died so we could rise above the world and live the abundant life. He came to give us power, love and a sound mind. Don’t trust your feelings and let us begin this day by standing on His promises and feeding on His word so we can rest, relax and rejoice in His beauty that surrounds us. He freely gives us all things to enjoy. What a precious and loving God we love and serve, He is faithful! We have nothing to worry about. Even though the world is in turmoil we are blessed and as long as we keep focused on Him, we can’t lose but only win! Happy new month and a happy life, instead of strife, for a glorious future awaits you! You are loved my friends and I pray this word will encourage you today!
God bless!
