Trust is Slow

A slower pace and a methodical rhythm are a couple of the hallmarks of those who trust in God. They know God is the most significant actor in the world, not them. They know he is the last line of defence. They are settled in fear-filled moments because they know God is sovereign, they know He loves them, and they know He promises to make all things work together for good (Romans 8:28). These truths are ballast for their soul, and because they know them deep down, they tend not to “fear anything that is frightening.” (1 Peter 3:6)

Over It

As I reflect, I can see I started the Coronavirus marathon at the speed my sons started their cross-countries – and I am gassed. But as I gasped for air, I noticed God the Father on the first bend - He was coaching me. He reminded me to settle into running the race the way He made me to run it. As I reoriented to the Father, I began to remember who He had made me to be.
