I have been reading the book, "Finish the Mission" , a compilation of several authors...there is a lot to digest in it...
Early this morning, I found myself in the section about God's provision to Israel against the Assyrians many, many years ago in the book of Isaiah...chapters 36 and 37...Israel was surround by the enemy 185,000 plus, ridiculed, beaten down, and God's promises came through....as only a mighty, all powerful, God can do...He only to speak and worlds come into being...
And I worry over the smallest things and was reminded again about worrying over anything in Jesus calling this morning...the world news is appalling, the national news is sometimes disgusting...filled with fear, sin, death...
but God remains true, available, and in total control...and my worry adds no time to life...
Thank YOU, help me not to wander hither and yon...heaped with confusion ...but rely on You, spreading out my worries before you, letting you take care of them in Your Holy wisdom...
"Jesus calling"- July 9
Stop worrying long enough to hear My voice. I speak softly to you, in the depths of your being. Your mind shuttles back and forth, hither and yon, weaving webs of anxious confusion. As My thoughts rise up within you, they become entangled in those sticky webs of worry. Thus, My voice is muffled, and you hear only “white noise.”
Ask My Spirit to quiet your mind so that you can think My thoughts. This ability is an awesome benefit of being My child, patterned after My own image. Do not be deafened by the noise of the world or that of your own thinking. Instead, be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Sit quietly in My Presence, letting My thoughts reprogram your thinking.
And that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
—Deuteronomy 30:20
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
—Genesis 1:27
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
—Romans 12:2
