Susie Larson in “Blessings for Every Day” reminds me today that although things may not be “going my way” and I am facing challenges, putting my trust in God who made me and loves me and redeemed me is a great deterrent to self-pity and depressing. If I choose to dwell on the negatives, I will give in to worry and concern. Those are negatives. She writes: “May you make up your mind to persevere and not quit. May you refuse to be bullied by your fears or diminished by your insecurities. May you rise up in the knowledge that God made a masterpiece when He made you! May you embrace grace to abound in every good work in spite of enemy opposition. Overwhelming victory belongs to you because you belong to Him. Walk with feisty faith today! He’s got you.”
Scripture reminds us that we are more than conquerors. No matter what is happening in politics, in the economy, without health, with other concerns, we are heirs of the King of the universe, and His provision is adequate to overcome obstacles we think we are facing. He knows the outcome. He sees the big picture. We will be just fine in His care. Seek peace and grace. Let’s do it in Twenty-Two!
