Aftermath
We all just went
through a year called 2020. It was a year
of stress for many. Where do you go in
the aftermath? Where will you go with the
stress? The Batcave blog has always been
a blog where I have every intention to point the participant back to hope found
in God’s Word. If I ever point you to
somewhere other than the cross of Christ, I have done both you and me a great
disservice.
“When the road becomes
too rough
When you’re ready to
give up,
When you’re crying out
for love
God is faithful
When your peace cannot
be found
He will never let you
down.
You have chosen solid
ground.
God is faithful.”
Matthew 11:28-30
“Come to me, all you who
are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I
am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Those are Jesus’s
words to all of us. It’s a call to
prayer and to seek him. This next verse
I have read multiple times before but when I looked it up a few nights ago it
was the first time I ever noticed the exclamation point. A minor thing that gives it more
emphasis.
John 16:33
“I have told you these
things, so that in me you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble but take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Philippians
4:4-7
“Rejoice in the Lord
always. I will say it again:
rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident
to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in
everything, by prayer and petition, with Thanksgiving present your requests to
God. And the peace of God which transcends
all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
I have to remember this
when I’m praying because God is not confined by time like you and I. He led the people of Israel with a cloud by
day and a pillar of fire by night . He’s
already seen your problems from beginning to end. He’s fighting battles for you that you may
never even see or connect to a current problem till much later. A lot of times God doesn’t remove problems
because He’s using them to get you to trust Him and draw closer to Him.
1 Peter 5:8
“Cast all your anxiety
on Him because He cares for you.”
