Isaiah 26:3-4<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust\u00a0in you. 4\u00a0Trust\u00a0in the\u00a0Lord\u00a0forever, for the\u00a0Lord, the\u00a0Lord\u00a0himself, is the Rock\u00a0eternal.<\/i><\/p>\n
Probably most of you have pulled forward too far and bumped into, or had a jolting roll over of a parking lot curb stop.\u00a0 Most will wince and hope we didn\u2019t hurt anything.\u00a0 Usually that happens when are minds are elsewhere.\u00a0 When we are busy or rushed.\u00a0 Now, of course, our minds ought to be on driving when that is what we are doing.\u00a0 However, we all can have our minds elsewhere in this busy and hectic world.\u00a0 Now who does not worry whether their vehicles are damaged when they run over these curb stops?\u00a0 It is someone with a bigger vehicle, like a four wheel drive truck, that the curb poses no great threat to.\u00a0 Sure, it can be an unexpected jolt and a wake up moment, but no great worry happens for those who are within big vehicles that can roll over these curbs without scrapping the bottom of their vehicles.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sure most have had encounters with these curb stops that jolt us back to what\u2019s important, like driving the car and knowing where we are going. We all have, at times, done the same thing spiritually.\u00a0 Sometimes we stop praying.\u00a0 We stop reading the Word of God.\u00a0 We stop doing what we need to do and what we need to do is to always be preoccupied with staring at God.\u00a0 We need to put our eyes on God and leave them there.\u00a0 We need to know that we are safe in our spiritual vehicles and that it will get us over and beyond the obstacles around it.\u00a0 Better yet, that our spiritual vehicles have warnings that keep us from even encountering these potentially jolting curb stops. Family, Jesus is the vehicle that we need to always ride in. We don\u2019t need to get another vehicle, He is the one that never wears out, that alerts us to challenges, and that enables us to get past the challenges of life that can be so scary.\u00a0 Let\u2019s let the Spirit of God, who was given to us to lead and guide us, keep us safe.\u00a0 He is the infallible GPS that keeps us focused on the path that God has for us and He always gives us directions to our Father God and our Savior and Lord Jesus.\u00a0 Sometimes we will hit potholes, or curb stops, but our way of moving forward will never be stopped because it is God we are depending on.\u00a0 The above verse in Isaiah says that we can travel without worries, and we can overcome all the world brings, if we purposely and steadfastly keep our minds focused on God.\u00a0 We must trust Him and love Him.\u00a0 The Lord, the Lord Himself, is forever trustworthy.\u00a0 Praise our God!<\/p>\n
Psalm 150:6<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.\u00a0 Praise the Lord!<\/i><\/p>\n
Micah 7:7<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0But as for me, I watch\u00a0in hope\u00a0for the\u00a0Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear\u00a0me.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
Micah 6:8<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0He has shown You, O man, what\u00a0is\u00a0good; And what does the\u00a0Lord\u00a0require of You but to do justly, to love mercy, And to walk humbly with Your God.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
