7 Big Benefits of Standing on God in a Topsy-Turvy World
Wouldn’t it be great to stand strong in this world gone mad? You can! I’d like to send you 7 scriptures that describe exactly what happens when we decide to trust God as the foundation in our lives. (Hint, one is joy. Another is unmoveability. I think that’s a made-up word, but the scripture isn’t made up. It’s for real.)
Anyway, join my subscriber tribe here! (And look in your inbox for those 7 scriptures!)
Wow! So powerful and so true. I’m so glad you tackled this subject. The Bible states over and over to trust , yet this “simple” act is far from simplicity. I know that no matter what has happened in my life , it has always worked out. Maybe not how I planned it in my mind, but it has always worked out. That in itself is what keeps me going, knowing God has never abandoned me and that God has it under control. Thanks for an amazing article 🤗
Oh, that’s so true, isn’t it Cheryl? So often the things Jesus calls us to are simple, but not easy. He does have a way of working things out. He’s pretty good at math. I see that in your story, too, my friend. 😘
Great thoughts and, as always, beautifully written. Seems like we often live on the under side of the tapestry, only seeing the knots and loose threads of our lives. Having faith that it really will be beautiful in the end is a daily discipline. Oh to see things from God’s viewpoint! He might have to say “Fear not” a lot less.
Thank you! Thank you! So well-spoken!
Thank you Margaret. I think about that often. “If only you could see what I see. If only you could see what I’m going to do.” I’m so thankful for friends like you who help me capture that vision. 😘
Terry, thank you, thank you for being such a loyal reader. I am humbled.
Oh Laurie, I never have gotten to know you very well, and like most people, would never know that this is a struggle for you. I have to say though, that on a personal note, this is one of THE most timely messages as a dear family member is dealing with anxiety/depression in a BIG way and your personal story has opened my heart and my eyes to see how this affects a person who is a Christ follower and what a struggle it truly is. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being vulnerable and letting the Lord use you to help others. It is unbelievable that you being obedient and sharing can help our family, but then again, isn’t that just like God? Blessings to you and may He guide you, protect you, and encourage you each day.
Beautiful ! Absolutely beautiful!! You my dear, are a VERY gifted writer!! Thank you
Kim, thank you so much. I love writing!! Thank you for reading — it encourages me to write the next word.💙
Carol, I have thought about your words all week. I am so glad the topic was so timely, really I am. It’s not an easy subject. To live with. To write about. To understand (either for the sufferer or the comforter). I just keep coming back to this idea: things can be well with our soul even when things aren’t right in our world. (Or in our revved-up heart. Or in our gut.)
Sometimes there’s breakthrough. Sometimes getting back to our feet takes longer … so much longer. Either way, God can forge beauty. ❤️
Outstanding! God is using your talent in a mighty way. I’m so proud of you.
