You ever have anxious moments? I have been that way most of the morning. I have a major trip starting tomorrow morning and up to this point I have been really calm, but for some reason I have been anxious all morning with the nagging feeling I am forgetting something. I have been praying Philippians 4:6 – 7 but there was still that anxious prickling…
Then I read Psalm 103 – it never ceases to amaze me how God’s Word engages with me exactly where and when I need it. I noticed in the Psalm that the command was to bless the Lord, the command is repeated 6 times in my version. I did not feel much like blessing anything… Then verse 19 re-caged my gyros. 19 gives the foundation for our praise, our blessing of God. He is sovereign over all. My long layovers, my un-translated materials, whether I will be able to complete what I need to complete in time, all of the meetings next week, whether all of the team arrives in time, He is sovereign over all of that.
The reason I can bless Him, praise Him, rest in Him is that regardless of my effort, He is in control. Sometimes I forget that and need His gentle reminder. That is what He did for me this morning in Psalm 103.
