Yesterday I was listening to my music as I was working on several projects. I have listened to Laura Story's "Perfect Peace" many times, but yesterday it was like I was supposed to pay close attention.
Later that evening I was reading, "The Christian Atheist" by Craig Groeschel. The words I read tied in perfectly with the words I had listened to earlier. Craig was talking about worry and he says,
"If God does what you think he should do, trust him. If God doesn't do what you think he should do, trust him. If you pray and believe God for a miracle and he does it, trust him. If your worst nightmare comes true, believe he is sovereign. Believe he is good."
He goes on to quote Jeremiah 29:11 and then says,
"Even if the future God chooses for you isn't the one you would choose, trust him."
At the very end of the chapter Craig says this,
"I don't know what you're worried about today, but I do know that worry distrusts the promises and the power of God. I believe in God, and I choose to live in a way that demonstrates my confidence in him."
For me the key word is choosing, I will choose to trust God no matter what, and then I will have His perfect peace.
