i am having one of those moments. A moment when you try to be rational and you don't even know where to begin. The day was busy with activity...but now it is quiet. I look around at all the to-do piles accompanied by the long to-do list rolling in my head and I feel a little dizzy. I stare, hoping that if I think hard enough I can will everything to be finished. Staring and chocolate can only go so far and then I see it... It's a paper from a dear friend of mine that is titled, "I Will Remember God's Truth." Like salve to my soul, I read it again and again. It reads like this...
I Will Remember God’s Truth
I will run the race with perseverance and fix my eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of my faith. I will consider Jesus, so that I will not grow weary and lose heart; Heb 12:2-3
I will not be haunted by apprehension.
I will take a deep spiritual breath and remember what God says:
THE LORD IS my Shepherd- I shall not want; Ps 23
THE LORD IS my Helper- I will not fear; Heb 13:5
THE LORD IS near – Do not be anxious about anything; Phil 4:6
THE LORD IS my Rock, Fortress, and Deliverer.
My God is my Rock, in whom I take refuge – 2 Sam 22:2-3
THE LORD IS my Strength and my Shield – Ps 28:7
THE LORD YOUR GOD IS with you – Zep 3:17
YOU ARE MY GOD my Savior,
and my hope is in You all day long! – Ps 25:5
The piles and to-do list are still there, but I know God's Truths are what got me through yesterday, will get me through today, tomorrow...always!
