Living In God's Peace

The LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
Psalm 121:8

A mother wakes up during a thunderstorm and hurries to her son's room after a particularly bright flash of lightning knowing he'll be terrified.
To her surprise he's standing at the window.
"I was looking outside" he said,
"and you'll never guess what happened. God took my picture."
This little boy was convinced (and so should we) that God was at work; therefore his world is a perfectly safe place to be.
Ask yourself: "What would my life look like if I lived with a heart-deep conviction that because of God's unchanging character and care, this world is a totally secure place for me to be?"
Your anxiety level would go down.
You'd have the assurance that your life is in the hands of God so you wouldn't be tormented by your own inadequacy.
And you'd be an unhurried person. You might be busy, but you'd have an inner calmness and outer poise. And you wouldn't say many of the foolish things you now say because you speak without thinking. And you'd trust God enough to risk obeying Him. That means you wouldn't have to hoard. Worry makes us depend on ourselves. It robs us of joy and energy. A person in whom the peace of Christ reigns would be an oasis of sanity in a world of pandemonium.
But is such a lifestyle possible?

Listen: "The LORD will keep you from all harm- He will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore" ( Psalm 121:7-8 ).
