Now may the God of hope fill you
with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may overflow with hope
by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13
The world is constantly changing. It is easy to get so caught up in the
problems of the world and the situations we personally face each day,
that we forget that we are not solely dependent on our ability but the
unlimited ability of God. It is God that achieves the impossible. We may
stand powerless to create change in the world, or within ourselves and
the situations of life we find ourselves in, but with God nothing is
impossible. When our faith is weak, God strengthens and renews us. In
trusting in Him, we not only enter into his rest and peace, but remain
there. When we are not trusting in God, anxiety and fear are given a
dwelling place within our hearts. We can’t carry the load of the world
on our shoulders, and we don’t have to. God is more than capable of
handling our affairs and the affairs of this world. When we don’t trust
and let God carry the load, we miss experiencing the tranquility, the
peace and the joy in this life.
Prayer
Lord, help us to live in the atmosphere of Your peace and joy. The world
is constantly changing, as well as our circumstances. Remind us today,
that You are in control of every detail, and it is not up to us to solve
the world’s problems but to follow Your wisdom and instruction day by
day, and even moment by moment. We are resting in Your ability, wisdom,
and perfect love. Amen.
