The most restful place on the planet is a haven called TRUST.

Trusting God is the antidote to anxiety.

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;” (Philippians 4:6 NKJV)

The word anxious here means to “take thought”.

That’s the way Jesus described it:

“And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.” (Luke 12:22–23 KJV)

“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” (Matthew 6:34 KJV)

What thoughts are you taking?

Circumstances come with a bag load of thoughts attached to them.

Devil’s peddle thought bombs, looking for a buyer.

Tomorrow and life itself carry thoughts to the table.

Thoughts are everywhere begging for someone to pick them up.

You can take them, or leave them.

You choose which ones you want to embrace.

As Martin Luther said, “You cannot keep birds from flying over your head but you can keep them from building a nest in your hair.”

Let me remind you

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:9 KJV)

“How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!” (Psalm 139:17 NKJV)

Your Papa also places thoughts on the shelves that you can pull down and pack for your journey, many of them recorded in His love story, the Bible.

How precious His thoughts toward you. Not thoughts of judgement, but mercy.

Not thoughts of disaster but of a hopeful future.

Be careful what thoughts you take today.

Make sure you choose some good ones!

Then share them here…
