The Calm In The Storm

Little Thoughts For Big Days
Little Thoughts For Big Days

For the things that you don’t understand, don’t try to! For some things you may never know the “Why” or the “What For?”

One thing you can know is, that as a believer, the Sovereign One who is in control is with you, walking beside you, perhaps carrying you over the rough spots. He can speak ‘Peace’ into the eye of your storm, calm the wind and still the tide if you ask Him in childlike faith. Seek His council and hear His advice. Walk on faithfully in complete trust and know that He cares.

Mark 4: 38-40
“Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Hush, be still.” And the wind died down and it became perfectly calm. And He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”…

Disappointment

Little Thoughts For Big Days
Little Thoughts For Big Days

Life throws some pretty, hard knocks, and left curves at us sometimes. Deep, intense hurt can make us bitter, angry and warped in our judgment. Hurt open us up to a vulnerable state, where quick, momentary choices for happiness only invite further disaster! When overwhelming disappointments disappoint, seek God’s council before making rash decisions! Remember disappointments are His appointments for good reason. Tread carefully and seek His wisdom! Seek His righteousness! Allow healing to soften your heart and bring peace, and watch all the good things God has for you fall into place.

Matthew 6:33

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

Weary Solutions

For all your weariness and stress, just sit back and breathe deeply! Relax your shoulders and your mind, as you give God what’s on your heart just one more time. The nagging worry that persistently nips at your heels ~ give it over to Him!! That fear that paralyzes ~ exchange it for trust in your Faithful Heavenly Father who knows the end from the beginning and is sovereign over all.

Entanglement in the worry/fear web tires the mind and zaps the body of energy. To keep it subdued check in with a God who can manage it all. Go to Him, the source of your strength for power up, refuel and rejuvenation.

Isaiah 40:31
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Standard Of Measure

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Personal high standards without compromise are good but sometimes they aren’t cushioned with grace, for ourselves or anyone else, therefore, we tend to judge one another harshly because of it.    Our shortcomings may not be as obvious as the ones for whom we judge but they carry just as much the weight of sin!  Let’s remember we aren’t the judge, but God is!!   God’ s salvation plan is grace alone, just pure saving grace for our belief and our faith in Him. In return He blesses us with advice in His Word along with principles and commandments to live by for abundant life on earth.   Without His principles and commands,  we get ourselves into hot water time and time again. Blessed are we, when in failure, He graces us with forgiveness if we only ask and repent.

When others fail you, or offend ~ do the same for them.   Grace them!  Forgive them even if they don’t ask.  Show compassion and find peace for the new year ahead.

Matthew 7: 2 -5.
“In the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.”
