God Is... Calm

The economy is collapsing. The war in Afghanistan is getting worse. Iran broke away from the international nuclear agency and is working on developing nuclear weapons. Gas prices are so high. If the democrats win, they'll want to grant the same "civil rights" to gay couples as to married men and women... and Winter is coming!

There are many things which could be cause for worry and concern for us. My work-life has been quite out of control the past couple weeks, and it looks like it will stay that way for a couple more weeks if not months. It is Crazy! Pandemonium! Hectic! If I believed in stress, I think I'd be facing it right now.

The good news though, is that we have a God that is calm. God does not get all worked up when He sees the problems that we cause in this world. He is not biting His nails, wondering what will happen next. True, He does know in detail what's coming up, so I guess He has an unfair advantage in that area. But our God is calm - in the sense that He's not worried. (I couldn't think of a better antonym for "worried." Anyone else think of a better?) So, as we focus on God more and more, and recognize His sovereignty and His power, we will see that He is calm and collected. Then we can and should be just as calm, just as careful for nothing, knowing that all things work together for good to them that love God.

Take it easy, Andy...
