The next time your world is coming apart, REST! R -remember God is sovereign. I know you are tempted to say “amen” and go on. But, stay with me for a moment. It is easy to amen to the sovereignty of God when someone else is in trouble, and much harder when my own world is collapsing. God is sovereign means God controls the circumstances. Remember when the children of Israel came out of Egypt? God lead them to the Red Sea (Exodus 14:1-4). He even told them exactly where to camp. God then brought the Egyptian army in behind them. With the Red Sea in front and the greatest army in that day behind them, they were trapped. If Israel had only paused for a moment they would have seen that God was about to glorify His name. “…I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, and the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD...” (Exodus 14:4) “They said to Moses, Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness?...” (Exodus 14:11). Can you feel the stress in their cry? Their circumstances are about to kill them, or at least the stress might give them a heart attack. Moses’ response is what we really need to pay attention to. “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord” (Exodus 14:13) Let me paraphrase that for you, relax and watch what God does. What are circumstances that are stressing you out? Look at the circumstances which are causing you so much stress and ask God to reveal Himself in them.Remember, God is the God of and over circumstances. So, relax. #restintheLord #becomewhoyouweredesignedtobe #preceptministries goo.gl/dixJsy
