Day 21: Unrest Rest


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"
