Last night I awoke and a feeling of depression pounced on me like a mountain lion attacking a lamb! I made a CHOICE not to be depressed and let my troubles or worries WIN the battle! We CHOOSE to worry and as in everything we do in life, those choices have consequences. When we decide to NOT WORRY it is not that we are not concerned about our problems, it is we are CHOOSING to let the LORD handle the problem! It is easy to say we are going to trust the LORD, but it is not so easy to LET GO and LET GOD! My goal is to not be burdened down with worry and fear and to exhibit the JOY and PEACE that people NEED!
NEHEMIAH 8:9-10 ESV
And Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, “This day is holy to the LORD your God; do not mourn or weep.” For all the people wept as they heard the words of the Law. Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
