Jesus Today
By Sarah Young
DON’T BE AFRAID TO
BE HAPPY. BECAUSE YOU are Mine, you can expect to experience some happiness
--even in this broken world. Yet anxiety sometimes intrudes upon your carefree
moments. You start wondering if there are things you should be doing or plans
you should be making. Your underlying feeling is that it isn't safe to let down
your guard and simply be happy in the moment. How wrong this is, My child!
I have called you
to cease striving --let go, relax --and know that I am God. You may think that
you need to have all your ducks in a row before you can relax and enjoy My
Presence. But consider the overall context of this command: though the earth
give way and mountains fall into the heart of the sea. The psalmist who penned
these words was describing a terrifying catastrophe. So you don’t need to wait
till you’ve solved all the problems in your life, this very moment is the right
time to enjoy Me . Come boldly into My Presence, saying, "Jesus, I chose
to enjoy You --here and now."
"Happy are the people whose God is the Lord!" Psalm 144:15
"Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Psalm 46:10
" God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though it waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging." Psalm 46:1
