It's up, it's down, it's all around. Is it the stock market? No. It's the temperature. I don't know about you but we've had (here in Central Virginia) days of balmy almost 80's sun, followed three days later by 10 inches of snow. Talk about crazy. But it is a sign of the times.
We have other signs of the times. Wars and rumors of wars, famine ... Matthew 24:6 you know. End times stuff. But if we continue reading that verse, Jesus says, " ...but see to it that you are not alarmed."
Wow! How do I hear about such things and not be alarmed? By knowing. I know who is sovereign, who is omnipotent, who is the I Am. I not only know Him, I love and trust Him. I know that He is the Author and Finisher of our faith. I know that His commitment to us is 100% I know all these things and yet there is one thing left. As fear and anxiety creep into my very bones I can choose to take each thought captive. I can choose what and in whom I will believe. Will I choose to believe my emotions? The morning, noon and nightly news? I can choose, and I choose You Lord. You are my strong tower. You are my protector. You are my life. Thank you for loving me. We are here for such a time as this! Hallelujah.

Hey, Katy! I figured out how to make more than ONE blog admin. It's in the settings and "permissions" so you can "add me" as an admin, and then I can post here, as well!
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't seem to choose my "Suzy Scribbles' account, so I'll have to post this as Stef and Suzy (our Book Bait blog). Oh, well....
