Have you ever been comforted by the Word of God?
Today I did
not wake up early to get my quiet time in, and I always feel the effects of
such a mistake. I am anxious, restless, unguided. The fatigue I experience from obediently waking up early to spend time with the Lord is nothing compared to the exhaustion of managing my warring emotions all day when I don't start with Him. During lunch I journaled
and read some verses.
Ps. 116:7 – “Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has
been good to you.”
This instruction, this mandate, to my soul was heard on a spirit
level. The Lord has been good to me, and He will always be good to me. He is so
good, I will never full understand on this side of Glory.
When I feel anxious and unfocused, I know I need the Holy
Scriptures to clear the fog. This verse did not make the little foxes go away,
but it gave me ammunition to keep them outside the fence. The harder
disciplines of patience, clinging to the truth, trusting in God’s faithfulness,
and meditation must do the challenging work now.
It starts with a comforting reminder. The Lord is good, always
has been, always will be. Be patient to see what good thing He is making happen
in your life.
