In today's episode, I want to talk about some things I have touched on in past episodes as well as some new messages.
When my son was at boot camp, I wanted to give him strength to continue to go through his training. I sent him a verse from the Book of 2 Kings 6: "FEAR NOT: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them."
The story of Elisha resonates so much right now. There is so much chaos and fear that reaching across is just going to give you more of the same. You need to reach up to change your perspective. Everything is meant to be, but you need to plan peace into your life; make it purposeful. Look for what is missing and what is stopping you from feeling it. In my life, I have only known peace to come from divinity, and it isn't always the easy path.
I use a method with these principles: stop and be still, breathe in, light up. This means practice stillness, look for the light, and ask it to enter into your presence. Ask what to do with the information that has sent you spinning, and you'll receive one of three answers. Either do nothing, think on it, and come back or act on it. When we follow God's direction, He gives us more. Personally, if I procrastinate on it, I begin to stagnate and feel worse and worse.
I want to remind you that comparison is the thief of joy. If it doesn't empower you to do better and do good in the world around you, it is a comparison that doesn't serve you. Shift your perspective to know that God has a plan for you and it is all in His plan.
