Last week my husband had a birthday. I'm six months younger than him, but it it won't be long until I have another birthday as well. It's all too easy to get depressed and give in to a bad case of the dreaded doldrums if I let my thoughts go down the road of worry, anxiety, and fear about aging and what the future holds. So, I've decided not to go there and instead to head a different direction. Won't you join me?
I have decided not to doubt God's care~
As I look back over my life, God's very evident care, protection and provision is clearly seen. Why would He, my good and perfect Heavenly Father, leave me now just because I'm getting older? Ridiculous, right? So, when worry, anxiety and fear come knocking, they are going to find a DO NOT DISTURB notice on the door to my mind and heart. I might even include this scripture verse.
"...you who have been borne by Me from your birth, carried from the womb: Even to your old age I am He, and even to hair white with age will I carry you. I have made, and I will bear; yes, I will carry and will save you." Isaiah 46:3-4 Amplified Bible (Join me for the rest of this post on Sunday, March 8th, at Woman to Woman Ministries, where each Sunday I share a bit of Sunday Soul Food!)
still following,
What a lovely security blanket scripture to start my week. Thank you, and hope your week is great.
