Choices

Life can be crazy, make us feel like the world is spinning out of control. We can easily get caught up in that feeling, the feeling like we cannot get a hold of our life and that if things don't stop, we may just lose it. According to 2 Timothy 1:7, God does not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind. He has given us POWER, we need to grab it and leave the spirit of fear behind, because the spirit of fear is from satan, and the exact opposite of what God wants for us. Times, situations, events can be scary and make us want to live in, be stuck in fear, but God want us to leave that spirit of fear behind and grab onto HIS power. Isaiah 33:6 says He will be a sure foundation for your times in the NIV version, and the New English Translation says it like this: He is your constant source of stability. We have no idea what will happen each day when we wake up, but God knows. He knows everything we will face and go through. Life is a roller coaster, but God wants to be our stability, our strength. Today, as you face challenges, times that feel out of control, will you be stuck in fear & let things continue to spiral out of control, or will you grab God's power, cling to Him as your stability, your foundation, and know that your Creator loves you and wants to take care of you? The choice is ours, no matter what we face, no matter what we are going through, we have a choice how we react, how we will face the situation. Sometimes, we have to make a choice several times a day on how we will react, how we will live. I am working on grabbing what God offers and running with it. I hope you do as well.
