I had a restless night,
even though I had a peaceful day.
I was not worried, or anxious or fearful,
yet there was an UNREST in me.
Was I awaiting subconsciously for the
WHAT'S NEXT?
You know what I am talking about~.
THE WHAT'S NEXT
question that doesn't have a real answer,
because it hasn't happened yet.
THE WHAT'S NEXT
that turns into
THE WHAT IF
because that is what is causing
THE UNREST.
I thought I was exempt.
Hmm, sounds a bit prideful, rather a lot prideful,
because I forgot about my human side that churns up inside
when I least expect it
striving to steal
HIS PEACE
that transcends all understanding.
So last night while I was trying to sleep,
I tossed & turned
without even a thought in my head,
so it must have been
THE WHAT'S NEXT & THE WHAT IFS
that were striving to take me captive
to steal GOD'S PEACE
by striving to become
FEAR & ANXIETY.
BUT GOD'S PEACE can't be stolen
BUT GOD'S HOPE can't be be hijacked
BUT GOD'S JOY can't be kidnapped
because
"HE who is in you is greater than he who is in the world" (I John 4:4).
Oh how subtle are
THE WHAT'S NEXT & THE WHAT IFS
when they come out of nowhere
especially in the midst of sleep.
BUT there is always
THE STILLNESS OF GOD
that overrides every
WHAT'S NEXT & WHAT IF
because
GOD IS & JESUS IS & THE HOLY SPIRIT IS
bigger & bolder & beyond every
WHAT'S NEXT & WHAT IF
that is created in our minds,
because
"HE who is in you is greater than he who is in the world"
HE WHO IS
in you is greater than every
WHAT'S NEXT & WHAT IF
scenario that you may be creating in your mind,
because those scenarios are
FEAR based,
only causing
ANXIETY
which makes you
forget about
GOD'S PERECT LOVE~
"GOD has not given us a spirit of fear,
but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7)
So
WHAT IF
the answer to
THE WHAT'S NEXT
question is
GOD & JESUS & THE HOLY SPIRIT,
then would there be any room for
FEAR & ANXIETY?
Hmm.
Thank YOU GOD for waking me up,
after a restless night,
to remind me that
YOU are THE WHAT'S NEXT
and
THE WHAT IF
because
YOU ARE always YOU~
and that is the
THE STILLNESS
that can't be stolen
because
"GOD has not given us a spirit of fear,
but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7)
So why should we believe otherwise?
Do you have a WHAT'S NEXT & WHAT IF scenario that you have created in your mind
that is creating UNREST?
Oh REST instead in HIS REST,
"IN HIS STILLNESS"
