I'm planning a wedding, working full-time, spending my spare time looking for a new job in a new state, trying to figure out a budget, trying to develop a healthy pre-marriage relationship with my fiance who lives four hours away and who I only get to see on the weekends, and learning about the importance of submission (not the easiest thing for me!)
It's pretty stressful right now, which is why I rely heavily on the Word of God to provide comfort, hope and peace in this craziness.
(Have you ever read the Bible? If not, start with the book of John :) Pretty amazing stuff, and it's truth!)
My friend, Faith, used to have a verse on her fridge when she lived in Crawfordsville - from Nahum 1:3, which says " The LORD is slow to anger and great in power. And the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. In whirlwind and storm is His way, And the clouds are the dust beneath His feet." (NASB translation)
She had another version, and only a portion of the verse on her fridge, and it has always stuck with me. "God's way is in the whirlwind and the storm."
The most significant areas of my personal relationship with Jesus have happened when I've hit rock bottom, when I'm stuck in the middle of a storm and when everything is going haywire around me. God is my one constant, and it's through him and in him that I have my being. His way will prevail, no matter how hectic life seems... And that is so comforting and so very meaningful to me. :)
So..if you're also having a manic Monday, stop, take a deep breath, look to the heavens and open up the Bible and read... Be comforted knowing that God will prevail, and He will bring peace.
