Walk With Me

Stress is standing at an unfamiliar 5 way cross road trying to decide which turn is the right one and which turn will get you lost when you only have enough gas to choose the correct turn. Should have brought that road map.


     Last post we dealt with stress. It would seem little can be done to come to grips with stress. Much has been written about it. Doctors have loads of patients trying to deal with it. Much research, many studies and many drugs are being produced to combat it. The research and studies may find ample causes for stress, most of which the person experiencing it already knows. The drugs prescribed for a cure are a lifetime thing that only push the problem aside without curing it.
     “Come! Take my hand. Walk with me and I will give you peace. Come walk with me. Rest in my presence and I will deliver you from your worry.” says the Lord our God. (Matthew 11:28-30) (Luke 1:79)(Romans 5:1)(Eph 2:14) The darkness is a curtain drawn before us to hide the truth of the Lord. Stress is the vehicle used to prevent us from opening the curtain. Jesus called His disciples to ‘come follow me’ and they dropped what they were doing and followed. They were blessed for having the Lord in the flesh to hear, see and touch. We are asked to do the same without that obvious advantage. It is a step of faith I know but, once made, not as big as one would expect. Taking the hand of Jesus is our choice to make. From there it is a Spiritual walk. Talking to the Lord and resting in His presence brings a peace like no other. Many of the worries and fears begin to dissipate and in many cases begin to have less meaning. Through walking in His presence the Word, the Bible, takes on a whole new meaning as you read it. It becomes the living word because now the Holy Spirit is opening your eyes in ways your soul can drink in, understand, grow. Where the Spirit of God dwells no negative can dwell. Walking hand in hand with Jesus has a calming effect through healing of the whole person. It is not necessarily a quick answer but rest assured, as you walk and trust in Him you will find peace. It is a far more complete peace than any other can provide.

My dear wife gave me a father’s day card that is special to me. She created a collie on the front. My first pet was a border collie. He was with us for several years before he contracted distemper and had to be put to sleep. He was and is special even today, even though that was back in the 50’s.
