Did you ever
Trust God
with something,
but then you keep taking it back?
Like when God tells us to~
"Do not be anxious about anything,
but in every situation,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God." (Phil. 4:6)
And then He tells us what He will do~
"And the peace of God,
which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Phil.. 4:7)
But I want more than
just
"peace"
to guard my heart
because
I want what I want when I want it.
But what if "guarding" was way better
than actually getting what
you want when you want it?
To guard~
"Before you know it,
a sense of God’s wholeness,
everything coming together for good,
will come and settle you down.
It’s wonderful what happens when
Christ displaces worry at the center of your life." (Phil. 4:7 The Message)
To guard~
For Jesus to take
you and I
From Anxiety to Peace~
in the midst of waiting for
what we want when we want~
trumps it all
because
His Peace
is what enables us
to do this thing called
Life
because
we can't always get what we want
but
we can get what He wants to give.!
So what are you Trusting God with
or need to Trust God with
that you can't let go?
Let's make the
Great Exchange
this very moment
and present it to
Him
and leave it at
His feet
so that we will
experience
His Peace
that guards our hearts
His Peace
that transcends all understanding
because
His Peace
is not something that we can produce on our own~
as I have tried and failed every time.
So why not listen to the
One
who
means what
He says and says what He means~
"I’ve told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties.
But take heart! I’ve conquered the world.” John 16:33
