First, my apologies for not blogging in such a long time. Second because it has been so long many things have taken place since then, my spiritual journey continues to twist and turn down unfamiliar roads and at times down paths I thought I had traveled for the last time. I am dealing with the whole idea of worry and being anxious about things that I have no control over in this life. We have an economy that is in a mess and people are looking for who is to blame. We have just had a historic election and a new President will take office soon.
So many things have happened since my last entry. I know things have happened in your life as well....some good and some not so good. Some exciting and some every troubling. And yet God is still on His throne and we are still where we are.
I have learned a lot dealing with anxiety and worry...first there are things that we must always remember, there are things that are True, there are Facts, and there are Suspicions. All three have a major role in how I and we deal with things in our lives. If the Suspicions rule we are like Chicken little. You remember him right? Always worrying about the worst happening and it never did. I have had the Chicken little complex for a while. Have you? Be honest now.....what about the economy? What about the election...I have friends that think the world is coming to an end because of our economy and not knowing what our new President will do.
I have news for you... the world is coming to an end. Everyday we are closer to eternity that we have ever been before, But God is in control. Not you, not me (we should all be thankful), not the President, not your Elders, not your preacher. GOD IS. So for those of us who are struggling at times with being chicken little may the rest of you in love remind us as I remind you today.
" Be still and know that I am God"
Peace.
