Last night, as I was praying to God about the current circumstances that I am facing in life at this present time, the Lord had to put something in perspective for me. He said, "Your situations will never bring you peace. Only I can bring you peace. Keep your focus and your thoughts on Me. Then your clarity will come. Your joy and peace will be there also. It's only found in Me. Situations are around you everyday, even when they are answered. But so am I. And I am He Who works all things for your good, and think good thoughts towards you." - I knew what keeping our hearts and minds on Jesus and not our situations meant, but it wasn't until last night that I didn't know I wasn't doing that. He had to show me that I was trying to find my peace in the circumstances working themselves out. Getting a new job, I will be peaceful. Living in a new space, I will be happy. Finally meet my husband, questions and desires will be put to rest. - He had to show me that I HAD to change, not my seasons. But my thinking had to change. Because once I get the job I LOVED doing, living in the house and environment I've ALWAYS DREAMED possible, a godly husband who puts Christ before me and we're serving God together in ministry and ALL that I've ever desired, something else could go wrong. In that job, that house, and or spouse, or not. Situations always exist ALL around us. If it's not one thing, it's another. So, I have to keep my eyes Jesus, and maintain His TRUE peace within ME! Because if for a second it strays away, it will then notice another problem that needs fixing, and my heart is wearied, yet again. John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
