Higher Ground
Several months ago, a friend sent me a devotional titled God Calling by A.J. Russell. Today’s portion talked about the importance of staying calm and resting in Jesus regardless of everyone else who is fretting and stressed. It’s not an easy thing to do but it is how Scripture tells us to live. We’re not to be consumed by the world. We will have tribulation but we know the One who has overcome the world, and we should be able to rest in that fact. I know it will continue to be a battle for me but “I long to live above the world though satan’s darts at me are hurled for faith has caught the joyful sound, the song of saints on Higher Ground” (from the hymn, “Higher Ground”).
Lord, help me to have joy in my heart and a spring in my step, knowing You are with me. Don’t let me be stressed but help me to find rest. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
