I was feeling overwhelmed by the news of everything from AI to Russia’s “diplomatic” policy—or the lack thereof. Then I opened to this and breathed out my problems as I breathed in God’s peace. Thank you Sarah Young for Jesus Today
“This planet you inhabit is in such a big mess that sometimes you feel overwhelmed. Just watching the news on television can make you anxious. World events and economics seem to be spinning out of control more and more. This is why it’s so very important to focus on me and consider who I am: the Beginning and the End. I—the Creator of this planet—transcend time. I know the end of this world’s story just as well as I know its beginning.
I not only know how everything will turn out, but I am absolutely Sovereign. I am the Almighty; nothing is beyond my control. The more helpless you feel as you face the challenges in your life, the more comforting it is to trust that I am all-powerful. Remember that I am also compassionate. I am the Lord who comforts His people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones. You can transcend your troubles because I am both powerful and compassionate. So you have a good reason to rejoice; sometimes you even burst into song. Sarah Young, Jesus Today.
“Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O mountains! For the Lord comforts his people his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones,” Isaiah 49:13.
