Does anyone else think that there is a storm brewing or that something is on the horizon that we just can't see yet? The world seems so chaotic these days. With inflation, fuel prices and war times are uncertain. The truth of the matter is that no time is ever certain. There is a reason "Do not fear" occurs in the Bible 365 times.
If we are consumed by the things of this world there is no time to enjoy our blessings. There is no time for gratefulness. Focusing on future unknown disasters can be detrimental to your health.
Fear is a powerful force that can cause anxiety that in turn can cause all sorts of health issues. A body cannot sustain itself in a constant flight or fight mode. Breaks in mental health can occur not to mention cardiovascular issues and high blood pressure.
Letting go of control that you never had in the first place is impossible. You can only let go of the lie that you were ever in control of unforeseen things. Let go and let God______! Fill in the blank with your struggles.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-22 NLT
16 Always be joyful. 17 Never stop praying. 18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
19 Do not stifle the Holy Spirit. 20 Do not scoff at prophecies, 21 but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. 22 Stay away from every kind of evil.
Be at peace!
Mrs. Smith
