What a powerful verse and promise!! David had much anxiety running from a mad king. He wasn't running for a day or two, but for years. He knew the throne was his, yet Saul kept him running. As I wrote last night, "Lord how long?" When will it end? Whatever your circumstance is...there hasn't been a light at the end of the tunnel for a long time. No end of the suffering, illness, rebellious child, death, loss of job, loss of home. The list goes on. Stress pull the strings tight. Anxiety, when will it end?!!
Maybe never. I don't know, you don't know. All I know tonight, is that this is my promise to claim. It is yours too. We can find joy in the midst of anxious moments (days, weeks, months, years). God wants to console us. He is so gentle, so patient. He has a plan.
So the question is, if hung in the balance—joy and anxiety—which would win in your life? It seems I've been forever trying to walk, to overcome the obstacles of the amputation. But I have seen those who have no legs. I have one. Thank you Lord for that one leg. Thank you Lord for tile floors and an office chair that has become my mode of "travel" in the house. Yes, you read it correctly. No wheel chair, only an office chair. :))
God bless you
