People lose their peace whenever something has gone
or is going wrong. Imagine someone whose child’s school fees is yet to be paid,
and probably examinations is starting in few days, yet there is no tiny
indication of whether money to pay the tuition would surface. For that kind of
person, it becomes very hard if not impossible to stay calm. The person would
be disturbed and angry. But while having a discussion with a friend recently, I
realized there are some other set of people, irrespective of what is going on,
they are always calm.
These set of people are the ones mentioned in Isa
26:3 that, “Thou (God) wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on
thee: because he trusteth in thee.” These set of people are too confident that
irrespective of what is going on, it is under their control because they have
God on their side always. In Acts 16, Paul and Silas were arrested and jailed.
While in the prison, they started singing and praying, and then the prison door
opened and their hand cuffs broken away supernaturally. Ordinarily, they should
have just ran out immediately, but they did otherwise.
They were too sure that God could open the prison
doors for them without any human intervention one million and one times. Bible
says in Psa 34:5 that, “They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their
faces were not ashamed.” When you know your father would be coming to pick you
from school, when others are rushing for the bus, you may be sleeping because
you know someone’s got you covered. Stop worrying yourself sick, start trusting
God the more, because whatever it is you want, HE CAN DO!
David was too sure of victory even though he had
just a sling in his hands, that he told Goliath, “You big for nothing giant,
today, I will barbecue your head for vultures.” Sir, God is too big to fail or
disappoint you!
Stay Calm!
