Have you ever been waiting for and expecting something and your life feels like all sixes and sevens. You feel nervous and "antsy". If it's something you are looking forward to you face the day with anticipation. If it is hanging over you like the sword of Damocles then you wait with trepidation. But what if you were to cast the care of that "thing" on God. What if you were to believe that He had your back in the circumstance you were not so anxious to deal with? What if you knew that He knew exactly what was going to happen? Do you trust Him? Do you believe He is in control and He loves you? If it's a confrontation of some kind do you know that you ought not plan out the conversation in advance? Do you believe the Bible when it says "open your mouth and God will fill it?"
If you are anything like I am, you may believe all the things written above and still give your mind over to worry and reasoning. When the Bible says, "cast all your care on Him for He cares for you," do you still hesitate? Do you adhere to the principle that God helps those who help themselves? Have you been mislead to believe THAT appears in the Bible? Well, my friend, take courage and know it is NOT in the Bible at all. That book is all about how God is a shelter in the time of storm, your comforter, your standby. He never says "pull yourself up by your bootstraps", nor "buck up", " keep a stiff upper lip!"
What The Book tells us is this, "No weapon formed against you shall prosper". It also says, "If God is for you who can be against you?" God is not a man that He can lie. If the word "gospel" means "good news" isn't this good news? God wants to bless you and prosper you. He wants the very best for you. So today if you are at sixes and sevens over something that keeps playing a miserable endless loop of worry in your head, and you are waiting for the other shoe to drop, take this to heart. God loves you and He already is working this out for your good. Encourage yourself. Stir up your faith and believe everything will be okay. That's what I'm doing. Find the cure for your sixes and sevens. God has your back.
