"The LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and
forevermore." - Psalm 121:8 (NIV)

A mother wakes up during a thunderstorm and hurries to her son's room
after a particularly bright flash of lightning. She's convinced he's
going to be terrified. To her surprise, he's standing at the window.
"I was looking outside" he said, "and you'll never guess what happened.
God took my picture." This little boy was convinced (and so should we)
that God was at work; therefore his world is a perfectly safe place to
be.

Ask yourself this question: "What would my life look like if I lived
with a heart-deep conviction that because of God's unchanging
character and care, this world is a totally secure place for me to
be?" Your anxiety level would go down. You'd have the assurance that
your life is in the hands of Almighty God, so you wouldn't be tormented
by your own inadequacy. You'd be an unhurried person. You might be
busy, but you'd possess inner calmness and outer poise. You wouldn't
say many of the foolish things you now say because you speak without
thinking. You'd trust God enough to risk obeying Him. That means you
wouldn't have to hoard. Worry makes us depend on ourselves. It robs us
of joy and energy. A person in whom the peace of Christ reigns would be
an oasis of sanity in a world of pandemonium. Can you be that person?
Better yet, do you want to be that person?

Such a person does exist. "The LORD will keep you from all harm. He
will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and
going both now and forevermore." (Psalm 121:7-8 ). What else do you
need?

The LORD will keep you from all harm. He
will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and
going both now and forevermore." (Psalm 121:7-8 )

Amen
