Trust Me
While I was waiting at the hospital on Thursday for dad to be finished with his heart stress test I happened across this daily devotion lying on a table. God is so good to place just what we need before us if we pay attention!
Trust Me in the midst of a messy day. Your inner calm--your Peace in my Presence--need not be shaken by what is going on around you. Though you live in this temporal world, your innermost being is rooted and grounded in eternity. When you start to feel stressed, detach yourself from the disturbances around you. Instead of desperately striving to maintain order and control in your little world, relax and remember that circumstances cannot touch My Peace.
Seek My face, and I will share My mind with you, opening your eyes to see things from My perspective. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid. The Peace I give is sufficient for you.
John 16:33; Psalm 105:4; John 14:27
This picture is of a place within the Colorado National Monument where I would drive to when I was needing to get away from everything and have a good cry, need to think decisions through, etc. I miss this place very much and had such peace when we stopped there on our drive this past vacation. "My place" now has a guardrail and is much too visible to all travelers now, but I am thankful for the time God gave me to have this spot to meet with Him alone for several years. I think I need a new place and I don't know where that might be!
