“This is the day the Lord hath made, rejoice and be glad in it!” Psalms 118:24. How can I rejoice and be glad in a day if I am going into it anxious? I can’t. This morning I have the meeting I’ve written a couple times about. And, yes, I got up anxious about it and the outcome of it. Yet, when I started my journaling and asked what Jesus wanted me to know for today, I was reminded that He is with me (us) today. As I was reminded of this I wondered why I ever fall prey to anxiety when I KNOW this? I know it is my flesh, but, good grief, can I ever get beyond this flesh of mine?

In my Bible reading in II Kings 6:16 this morning, the prophet Elisha says “Don’t be afraid, the prophet answered, those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Elisha goes on to say, “Oh Lord, open his eyes so he may see,…” It was very easy at that point to know and see that God already has the outcome of this meeting in His hands. Somehow I have known this, and now my heart is much more at peace.

I am always amazed and impressed with God’s ways. Trusting Him is always what I want to do, but just as in today, I need His reminder to do just that. So today, “…I walk into the unknown trusting….” God is always AMAZING!
