Day 9: Peace In Chaos


You see the road before you.

And all you see are ROADBLOCKS.

There is chaos.

There is confusion.

There are the unknowns.

And then you hear the words

"COME TO ME".

You look to the left.

You look to the right.

You can't see the ONE who is calling you.

And then you hear the words

"FOLLOW ME".

You look to the left.

You look to the right.

You can't see the ONE who is calling you.

And then you hear the words

"TAKE COURAGE. It is I. Do not be afraid" (Matthew 14:27)

You look to the left.

You look to the right.

And then you look straight ahead.

And the ROADBLOCKS. got bigger.

And then you start to run the other way.

And then you hear the words~

"FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS" (Hebrews 12:2).

And then it all makes sense in the senseless.

JESUS is the ONE calling you.

You turn around and see the ROADBLOCKS.

But then something happens

that is so supernatural

that you can't believe it is happening.

You take the first step on the road before you.

Despite the chaos.

Despite the confusion.

Despite the unknowns.

Because JESUS is calling you.

And at that moment

PEACE overwhelms you

as you walk through

the chaos

the confusion

&

the unknowns.

It is THE PEACE THAT TRANSCENDS ALL UNDERSTANDING

because what you

SEE before you

that is filled with

chaos

confusion

and the unknowns

there is no

PEACE

to be seen.

But because you are so focused on the

UNSEEN,

you

FOLLOW HIS VOICE

because it is

JESUS who your eyes are so FIXED on

that nothing around you matters anymore.

For your FAITH has become bigger than your

FEAR

the moment you take the first step,

even though all you can see

in front of you

is

chaos

confusion

and the unknowns.

You can't believe that you are

actually

pressing forward

despite what you see,

but with each step you take

something is happening to you

in the midst of

the chaos &

the confusion

the unknowns

because your eyes are looking beyond

what you see and don't see happening

and

what you feel and what you don't feel happening

because

you are

FOLLOWING the ONE

who called you to

COME

and to

NOT BE AFRAID.

For HIS WORDS have become your

REALITY

and you refuse to stop

PRESSING FORWARD

despite

the chaos

the confusion

&

the unknowns

because

you KNOW the ONE

who you can't

SEE,

but who you

FOLLOW

as you

FIX YOUR EYES

"not on what is seen,

but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary,

but what is unseen is eternal"*,

continuing along the path

that GOD has set before you

because you don't walk alone.

"Therefore we do not lose heart.

Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving

for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all"

*(2 Corinthians 4:16-18)

Oh PRESS FORWARD with the ONE who will

take you beyond

the chaos

the confusion

and the unknowns

as

you

FAST from whatever

ROADBLOCKS.

are before you

that appear to be so big

that you can't believe that you will ever get past them,

but you WILL as you

take each step anyway

with the ONE who will give you all that you need

to move beyond whatever

chaos

confusion

&

unknowns

that strive to keep you standing still

because you

"HOLD ON"

(listen to the song below)

to the ONE who is

HOLDING on to you.
