Looking out over a calm lake can make you think. This picture was taken several years ago and I remember sitting here thinking how great God is in life. You can see the mountains, the calm water and then far away, I saw a boat going by. It was such a peaceful and beautiful place.
STAY CALM ~
2 Corinthians 5:17 New International Version (NIV)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
After you have given your life to God, you will find peace of life. God gives us opportunities to change our thinking, our trust and teaching us not to worry. Worry takes away your peace and leads us down a road of doubt. God is a peacemaker and wants the best for each of us. We might hear a bad report from a doctor and that is scary. It's okay to be scared but remember who created you. Our God has ways of healing us through medication, surgery and time. Not everything is a miracle but a process of time. In that process, we develop a trust in the Lord.
Proverbs 3:5-6 New International Version (NIV)
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
STAY CALM ~
There is a story of how Jesus calm the waters, read this:
Mark 4:35-41 New King James Version (NKJV)
Wind and Wave Obey Jesus
35 On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” 36 Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. 37 And a great wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. 38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”
39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!”And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. 40 But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”
STAY CALM ~
It is good to remind yourself of God's power
I know it's hard when we heard a negative report or feel stress. It's real and I know that but I also know the importance of trusting the Lord through it all. Leaning to God and not your own thoughts of what might happen. What is God just gave you a miracle and turn things around? It's possible in many cases and also we can learn from hard things of life. I have become a stronger person in life after going through some unseen things. Suddenly has happen in my life and I've dealt with it. It is now a new day and a day filled with opportunities to shine. Rest in knowing this: GOD IS ABLE.
My prayers continue for you, your family and friends.
