Panic sets in! You hurry to someone you think should know – someone who needs to be aware – someone you hope can take charge and help. And you cry out to them… “Did you know? Are you aware?!” And they respond with a calming voice, “Yes, I’m aware – it’s under control!”
Listen you may feel anxious thoughts overwhelming you today! You don’t know where to turn or who can help you. You wonder if the Lord is aware of your situation… You cry out, “Lord are you aware? Do you know what I’m going through?”
He speaks through His word… “Yes, I know – I’m aware – it’s under control”
How do I know? This morning during my time of “coffee with the Lord” I read and reflected on Psalm 139:1-6 and I heard Him say it…
“ O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You discern my thoughts from afar.
You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.”
So if you’re anxious, fearful and about to panic, here’s my advice… Read Psalm 139:1-18 today – reflect on it’s message and listen closely… I believe you’ll hear the Lord say it to you… “Yes, I know – I’m aware – and believe Me, it’s under control!”
