Trust God or Go Stone Crazy
O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? Matthew 14:31
• Frizzled brain. . .
• Scattered brain. . .
• Panfryed Nuts!
Okay, here are the choices: We can either put our faith in
God to lead, guide, and protect; or we can go absolutely stone crazy with fear and
worry. When we look at it that way, the only wise answer is to trust God.
However, it’s not always easy to discern the godly path when bells of anxiety
are smashing and banging in our heads.
The
way to stop the bells is to first recognize that they are ringing.
Sometimes
the disruptive sound of confusion becomes the normal. The danger is—it drowns
out God’s peaceful still voice. Do you know people who love the drama?
Pandemonium seems to gravitate in their direction. They have lived in disarray
for so long that peace seems suspicious and uncomfortable. It’s hard for them
to understand that God does not want them worried and distressed. It’s easier
for some people to combat the problem than it is for them to let go and rest in
the confidence of God.
We have to let our “man-made” banisters go, and
trust God to hold us up.
We
must put our faith in the One Who can actually do something about the problem. God
has a plan for our lives—one of peace not evil (Jeremiah 29:11).
We can relax in the peace of God, or go stone crazy. It’s our choice.
