”Perfect, absolute peace surrounds those whose imaginations are consumed with you; they confidently trust in you. Yes, trust in the Lord God forever and ever! For the Lord God, is your Rock of Ages! He knocks down the high and mighty, and the lofty city he humbles and levels down to the dust, to be trampled down by the feet of the poor and exploited.” The path of the righteous is smooth and level; God, the Just One, you make a clear path for them. Yes, we will follow your ways, Lord and entwine our hearts with yours, for the fame of your name is all that we desire.“
If you are struggling with anxiety and worry today, this passage is a great reminder of how to stay in peace. Let your imagination be consumed with the Lord. Dwell on His goodness, His love, His kindness and how His mercies are new every morning. Think about all of the times and ways He has come through for you. And read the scriptures, because they teach us more and more every time we open them about the faithfulness of the Lord and the love He has for us. They teach us how to remain close to the Lord and how to stay on His righteous path. When we are consumed with the love and awe of the Lord, fear, anxiety and worry have no place. They are overtaken by boldness and confident faith that He is who He says He is and He will do what He said He will do.
