Stop The Frenzy!

I am doing a bible study by Priscilla Shirer, and if you've heard from me anytime these past couple of weeks you know how much I love it!

The name of the study is called Faith and Fire; Elijah, by Priscilla Shirer. This study is blessing me in so many ways and I want to share some of what I am learning and hopefully, it will encourage you as well.

Well, as you can see from the topic we have some work to do.

Here are some nuggets from just this particular day 5 of the lesson.

We're so busy. We're so stretched. The rat race has swallowed us whole. We're overwhelmed at the thought of what we already know is coming up in the day ahead of us before we've factored in the stuff that we don't even yet know to expect. The constant clawing to accomplish and succeed, to garner attention and accolade, has made this society a weary one to live in.

So our relationship with God, which is the defining treasure in our lives - not just in theory but in everyday, practical living - should help us deal with this ragged, runaway exhaustion we can easily feel. And it should distinguish the pace and pursuits of our lives from those who are unbelieving.

She goes on to say later...

To abandon all worry in favor of prayerful trust, with its promise of peace that peaks all levels of human comprehension- should keep us sane and settled amidst a seriously over-scheduled, achievement-oriented world.

WHEW!!! She is all up in our business with the TRUTH!

So let us Stop The Frenzy and JUST TRUST GOD.
