Get in His Word and Trust the LORD!

The chaos that began and seemingly reigns has affected everyone.

We can remain calm, think sensibly, and bring some sense of peace to those we encounter.

"There's nothing we can do, but trust the LORD," is what I have said to fellow Christians.

After I have just said this I have changed my mind.

Certainly, the chaos has a mind of its own - but WE CAN do something.

If we flesh out trusting in the LORD and it becomes: 

Get in His Word and Trust in the LORD!

*That IS really something!

Last week a dear friend of mine shared with me a precious story from a friend of his. 

His friend has a special needs teen son. One of their favorite things to do together as father and son is record special football games and then rewatch them together.

The friend related that they had just rewatched an important collage football game from  years ago. It was a special one with two famous teams and the playing was incredibly intense right up to the very end of the game. Both father and son were cheering and yelling as the excitement mounted!

Then the son stopped and said to the father, 

"Isn't it great, Dad?! we already knows who wins!"

We who are saved by God's grace because Jesus' sacrifice on the cross - He died and rose from the grave for our sins - we know who wins in the end! Because of this we can rest in His safety no matter what happens in this world.

Hebrews 9, Psalm 49, Psalm 56...

Get in His Word and Trust in Him!

So true! Amen! God has given us a s l o w i n g down time , now, to push aside business as usual, and get out attention fixed on Him and reading the Bible. Praying, too!
