Is There Peace In The Midst of Chaos?

"My soul finds rest in God alone."

Psalm 62:1

 

Today began as a typical day with my mind racing to remember what I needed to do, what to avoid, how I might be able to work more efficiently, remembering all the precautions to take in the midst of the COVID-19, and on and on.  

 

By the time I left home at 5:30 in the morning, my mind was buzzing.  I happened to look into the sky as I got into my truck and saw the full moon.  I stared at it for several minutes and felt all my anxiety begin to fade away.  God was reminding me that the moon is still there regardless of what is going on here on earth, because He's the one who put it right there where I would see it this morning.  The more I thought about it, the more clear it became: Regardless of what we see, feel, think, stress over...God is still in control!

 

Think about it, regardless of how panicked we become about the events we can see, God is still making sure the Sun still shines, the Moon still glows, the birds still sing, the flowers still bloom, and God's love is still strong.  As I drove to work, God reminded me that NOTHING can change His plans for us and NOTHING can take His love for us away.  When we focus on Him, our anxieties, stresses, worries, concerns will melt away.

 

Ponder That!
