OBS - Finding I Am - Day 4

"When we are going through a storm, we often try to face it velour.  We pull out the tools we have in our tool belt and start fighting the battle.  Frustration, exhaustion, and exasperation set in. Finally, we ask Jesus to help us.  He has everything we need to win this battle and overcome this struggle. We can trust Him.  So I wonder why we so often make Him a last resort rather than our first response?" Lysa TerKerust, Finding I Am, page 33.

This was part of the Day 4 lesson today in the Proverbs 31 Online Bible Study.  This is how I often feel.  I tend to hit the problem head on, get upset over it, spin it around in my mind over and over until it is all I can think about, then worry sets in, and frustration, then I feel my heart skipping beats.  Finally I turn to God and say "I need help!  Help me, please!" and invariable I feel a peace settle over me.  My heart calms.  I am not frustrated, and I can face whatever the situation is.  I just don't do that enough, or when I do it, I wait too long to remember that God really is in control and He's got this!

Good lesson today!

As Greta often reminds me, "Be still and know that I am God."  Psalm 46:10



Good verse to remember! Our focus today was on John 6:16-21.  Perfect picture to go along with today's study.
