Side Effects


"The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, For the Lord holds them by the hand.” Psalm 37:23-24

In our worrisome world often you may be a person who is concerned about the side effects from either a certain prescription or perhaps an inoculation you are required to take. My goodness,  some of the drug commercials on TV are enough to send you running for the hills with all the things that 'could happen' listed. 

I am going to talk about a different sort of 'side effect' that being the life of peace and joy when you choose to give up control of managing your own life. How do you manage your own life you might say? Maybe by putting God in a box and sort of trying to orchestrate outcomes on your own. Perhaps it is time to let God have complete control, cause He does anyway. Your side effect which awaits you once you place complete trust in Him will be peace.

Are you able to give this method a try? Total trust in the savior even when the situation ahead of you looks bleak. God is not finished yet so settle back and pray and believe. 

PRAYER: Sometimes Lord it looks like things I am praying for are never going to change and it can be very discouraging. I know time is nothing to you and you indeed are doing amazing things I don't even know about yet, and I thank you. In Jesus' name. Amen.
