As we experience the challenges, difficulties and heaviness of the world around us, we realize that we really do have a choice.We can choose to allow more negativity or heaviness to enter our mind and heart, we can choose to keep ourselves focused on the things of the world. Or instead, we can choose to turn our focus toward God, to allow ourselves to have a moment to take some deep breaths, be more present, slow down a little, focus on what we can control and most importantly TRUST IN GOD more than men.
God has given us promises and tools to bring us inner peace and to bring rest to our souls while we’re on this earth. Jesus said; “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”—(John 16:33)
So, we know that in this world we will all have tribulations, challenges, difficulties and pain. But, He’s asking us to keep our focus on Him and not on the world or on the things that may be going on in our “internal world” as well. It’s all about turning our thoughts and focus to the God of love and the provider of peace. We can take a moment to ask ourselves, What are some of the things that we can do to turn our hearts, minds and souls to Him today? How willing are we to look within ourselves and to turn our focus away from our fears, to instead look toward God for inner peace and rest from the burdens that we may be carrying?
Mathew 11:28-30 Says
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest into your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
He wants us to come to Him. He doesn’t for force us, He invites us to choose for ourselves what we want to focus on. He tells you that we can learn of Him, so that we may come to know Him better. & by doing so, we will learn that He is a GOOD GOD. A God who is never blind to our tears, who knows our individual pain and all of the difficulties we’re each going through. He is never deaf to our prayers and is always right there ready to comfort us in the way that we personally need it. Just remind yourself by saying ; “He Hears ME! He sees ME, He knows ME, and loves ME more than I’ll ever know.”
We all know that life is short and temporary. Each day really is a gift and a new opportunity that God gives us to do better. Do we want to be constantly triggered by all that is going on in the world around us?… Or do we want to gain more inner stability, peace and strength in God? He is ready to provide it to any who SEEK HIM. The more that we’re able to align ourselves to Him, the less fear we will have in the world. We will be better able to make good choices, to be responsible for keeping our inner peace and be better able to handle the difficult situations that may come into our lives.
With God we can do all things and with Him we become STRONGER, MORE PEACEFUL AND STABLE. Even on a world of commotion and uncertainty. He is the one who we rely on. Our peace is attached to Him. Not to anything or anyone else. We all know that our world needs a little more of that peace. As our minds and hearts are more peaceful and stable we can be a light in the lives of our families, loved ones, and the world around us. Trust Him & keep your peace.
So, remember He’s got you! & HE ALWAYS WILL. You’ve got this! Come to Him & you will receive peace and rest. Focus on the light, love, peace and all the good that you find in TODAY and rejoice in the God that is the giver of lasting peace. Allow yourself to become stronger, more centered and peaceful in Him & feel the difference.
