My mom says she, “lives in denial<\/em>” and she’s good at it too! You know, aware of a problem, but pretending it just doesn’t exist. We all think it’s funny, as she avoids any unpleasant conversation. Reading my Bible yesterday, I realized this is something God wants me to live in as well…<\/p>\n

“They <\/strong>[those who fear the LORD] will have no fear of bad news;<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD.\u00a0Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear;\u00a0in the end they will look in triumph on their foes <\/strong><\/em>[enemies]<\/strong>.” <\/strong><\/em>Psalm 112: 7-8<\/p>\n

We are called to live our lives rejoicing<\/strong><\/em> (Philippians 4:4), always thankful for everythin<\/em><\/strong>g (Ephesians 5:20), focused on what we can’t see<\/em> <\/strong>and not what we can (2 Corinthians 4:18\/5:7). That’s sorta like denial in my opinion.<\/p>\n

I’m to have no<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>fear<\/strong> <\/em>of what is happening around me. Or worry about what appears to be going wrong. I’m just to know<\/strong>\u00a0th<\/em>at God has a plan and the plan is for my good.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Wow<\/p>\n

Of course I’m not stupid. I can see the situations that need attention and when circumstances are something to pray over, but after doing what I can<\/em>\u00a0I must\u00a0leave the rest<\/em>\u00a0at my Savior’s feet… it’s time to left go. The issue, in His hands brings a\u00a0supernatural peace that doesn’t make any sense. He’s got this<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We’ve lived through some crazy stuff, yet I deny<\/strong>\u00a0that chaos has control. I deny<\/strong>\u00a0what is happening is only bad<\/em> and no good can come. I choose<\/strong> instead, to trust in my great BIG GOD who sees the end from the beginning… far beyond my limited sight!<\/p>\n
