I don’t know who invented Windows 8…. This red-head that is all hyped up on steroids is about to snap! I’ll take Windows XP any day of the week. I have been working for more than 3 hours trying to get precious pictures off my phones onto my computer in some logical order. It shouldn’t be this hard! Frustration! à Exasperation! à Anger! Help me, Jesus! You know, life was a lot simpler when phones were hooked to cords, cameras took pictures on film that was developed, the local area TV only had channels 3, 6, and 12, all the stores closed at 6:00 PM Monday through Saturday and all day on Sunday, and you could pull your car up to the gas pump and tell the station attendant to “Fill ‘err up!” and he would wash the windshield and check the oil for free. I know, I’m telling my age but it’s what’s on my mind tonight. Is life on the fast-track really that much better? I think not. Seems like every day is filled with hurry up to do this or hurry up to get that done, or Oh no, I forgot that! Oh, I know I’m not alone in this because everyone I’ve talked with over the past few weeks is experiencing similar episodes of turmoil, chaos, and harassment. Jesus said, “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, nor let it be fearful.” The key point in this statement is the peace that Jesus is describing is the kind of peace that is found in the kingdom of heaven; not the shallow, superficial peace we obtain from things found in this world. The number one tactic the enemy uses against us is to disturb our peace by planting seeds of doubt and fear in our minds. When fear and anxiousness about the future and the unknown take root; the result is chaos, turmoil, and anxiety. Throughout the Bible, over and over, God says, “Do not be afraid! Do not fear! Don’t be anxious for anything!” Let me ask you something, “Are you fully persuaded that you can believe God?” I have a feeling we’ll continue to experience periods of turmoil and chaos until we reach the place of real spiritual maturity; that place where we are so fully persuaded that God is able in every instance to provide for us, to save us, to deliver us, and to heal us that we never give a single thought to any other possibility. This should be the goal of our determination. Jesus paid the price and now all we have to do is believe! Oh my, oh my, how much Jesus Loves You!
