Panic

Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

I woke up late this morning with a mild panic in my heart. I didn’t do this. I didn’t do that. I haven’t taken care of my responsibilities. What will I do? How will it get done? Then I opened up my bible and there was this verse staring at me in the face. And He spoke to me.

“Am I not still your God?”

There is nothing like being reminded of who your God is to settle and unsteady mind. Shaken once again by my failed humanity I had to be reminded of Who and why He died for me. My failings, my weaknesses, my unfaithfulness where all part of those things He erased. His right hand still holds reign over me, that has not changed.

This is what happens to me when I start becoming self-reflective rather than turning my eyes upon Jesus.

What was it that Jesus said, “Stand, walk.” Nothing was given to the healed about doing much of anything else but live. If the life we live truly is in Christ Jesus, what He has prepared and is waiting to do is not discovered in revelation of details, they are revealed on the walk.

The conversation starts with, “Come walk with me.”

He will reveal the rest in The Way.

Genesis 35:3 And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.

He has not changed in the way He is, for He is God.

One thought on “Panic”

  1. I LOVED your comments this morning. I can SO relate to you in this. I’m always amazed at how my flesh wants to jump in and take control. I constantly need Him reminding me……”Be still, and know that I AM God”!!! Psalms 46:10
    Love you brother, and love You, Jesus.
