how often i struggle to appreciate the now out of anxiety of not placing emphasis on building for the future
reminding myself to focus on what God has placed in front of me, and my responsibility to steward it fully
Lord let us feel your overwhelming peace, regardless of circumstance
help us align with you each day, choosing to walk with you
remove all noise, distraction, anxiety, and fear and replace it with joy
i’m reading the book of Isaiah, it’s timely as the word of God tends to be
we live in a time of constant noise, endless opinions
images flood our screens, narratives shaped around “our truth.”
Isaiah 8:19 - “should the living seek guidance from the dead?”
why do we run to everything except God for clarity?
we scroll for answers, align with narratives & defend “our truth”
meanwhile the word of God sits unread
distracted opinions neglecting access to the Almighty
the older I get the more I understand that entering His rest is reliant on not allowing my emotions to dictate my surroundings
is my posture aligned with Christ, or am I allowing a broken world to decide how I feel?
