Two weeks ago today, we were anticipating a day together then an evening of praise and worship. How awesome is that?
We were doing exactly what God wants us to do. In that moment when you looked at me with tears streaming down your face, didn't you 'know that you know that you know' that God has His hand on your life and you need not be afraid? He allows us to carry that with us in our hearts. He wants us to live a life of praise and worship in spirit and in truth - to live that life song. The peace and security you felt at the concert is yours to keep with you and to live by. It is not confined in any way to an auditorium or a church. It lives within your heart if you choose it, moment by moment and day by day.
"Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10
Close your eyes then take a deep breath. Ask God to renew that moment when you felt like you were right there with Him. He never left His place. He's steadfastly waiting for you to choose His way and His path over the patterns of this world.
In your heart and in your thoughts, He wants you to remain in that moment and trust in Him to handle absolutely everything else. Circumstances are what they will be, and they will change in small ways and in big ways. Circumstances are just one of the many vessels to contain and overflow with the attitudes of our heart. What is pouring out of the circumstances you face in any given day? Are you choosing His way or following the pattern of this world? On which do you focus?
