In these very strange days, I am trying to activate my phrase for the year: Fully Rely on God (FROG). I believe that's the best antidote for the physical and emotional virus that is attacking the world today. In His graciousness, the Lord, upon whom I rely, gave me a devotional reading today, which I'd like to share on this post:
"It is good that you recognize your weakness. That keeps you looking to Me, your Strength. Abundant life is not necessarily health and wealth; it is living in continual dependence on Me. Instead of trying to fit this day into a preconceived mold, relax and be on the lookout for what I am doing. This mind-set will free you to enjoy Me and to find what I have planned for you to do. This is far better than trying to make things go according to your own plan.
Don't take yourself so seriously. Lighten up and laugh with Me. You have Me on your side, so what are you worried about? I can equip you to do absolutely anything, as long as it is My will. The more difficult your day, the more I yearn to help you. Anxiety wraps you up in yourself, trapping you in your own thoughts. When you look to Me and whisper My Name, you break free and receive My help. Focus on Me, and you will find Peace in My Presence." (Sarah Young's Jesus Calling, March 16th)
I love this reading, and I will leave you to it...to savor it...to digest it...to make it your own. May the Lord of All grant us that peace that transcends all understanding so we may discover His perfect will in all the strange days that we're living in. In the Precious Name of Jesus. Amen!
