How Should We

Those who trust in the Lord Are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but remains forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the Lord surrounds His people from this time and forever. Psalms 125:1-2 NASB

This week, before you enter the rush of the day, before the cares and concerns race to overtake you, stop for a moment. Be still. Quiet your heart. Invite Holy Spirit into your moments. His words give life, remember that only God can bring about what we are hoping for, and only if what we hope for aligns with His will for our lives.

Picture yourself at the feet of Jesus. Repent. Pray. And listen.  

God leads, directs, guides, provides and covers all the bases in our lives. God was there in your past, He is here in your present and will be with us in eternity. God covers our past with forgiveness and healing, He surrounds our present with mercy and God maps out our future with promise and provision.

Throughout the Bible we read about how God continuously surrounds His children when we follow His will, word and way. The way God implements covering for us is absolutely remarkable, God deserves all the glory and praise for creating and providing shelter in each area of our lives, no matter how big or how small we perceive our issues to be. God is surrounding all that surrounds us. He is holy holy holy, Creator of all that is, all that was and all that will be. 

Exodus 24:15-17 Then Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. The glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days; and on the seventh day He called to Moses from the midst of the cloud. And to the eyes of the sons of Israel the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire on the mountain top. 

The current events that are rolling through history are a lot to take in….. Sometimes it is all just too much. War. Poverty. Violence. Injustice. The unending stream of news pours in from social media and TV and radio stations. Something is terribly wrong with our world. This is not how it should be. And the behaviour of mankind is nothing new, absolutely no surprise to God since we fell for the trucks of satan since the very beginning.

How can we find peace when we are part of the turmoil, when the world around us is in chaos? The answer?? We remain steadfast in keeping our thoughts on Jesus Christ, our plans under the will of God - instead of surrounding our environments with opinions, teachings, lies of this world - we keep our eyes fixated on Jesus.
