I’ve discovered that it is the simple ordinary daily things of my life that can literally “throw me for a loop.” It isn’t necessarily the unexpected that causes me as much grief. That isn’t to say that they don’t because they do but the difference is the extent of the stress levels caused by the ordinary.
In either case the important thing to remember is that the Lord is “ the strength of my life.” It’s extraordinarily amazing to realize how those little things can add such frustration to one’s being and can change one’s outlook in a matter of a few seconds.
Those tumultuous moments of insecurity, unrest, failure and the unknown are when we must go to the source of our strength; the light of our being, our protector. The Psalmist wrote it clearly, “ The Lord is my light and my Salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” Psalm 27:1
When I come to this, I simply take a deep breath, call out to Him, ask for the quiet assurance I need within to face each situation in the Name of the Lord! Oh, but let His Name be praised!
