so lately I've been stressed out about a lot of things, and dwelling on them..making me angry and then taking it out on my husband and kids. so last night when I went to go do my quiet time before bed I was really not in the mood. but knew I should do it anyways. I asked God though to show me something he wanted me to read and how cool is this....
Psalms 4
Read the whole chapter, but some of the verses really stuck out to me:
" How long will you love delusions and seek lies"...translation: why do you spend your time dwelling on things you can't control and lies from Satan.
"In your anger do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent" translation to me: instead of acting out when you are angry, give your anxious thoughts to God. Be still and let Him take control.
It's okay to be angry, but NOT okay to act out on it.
"I will lie down and sleep in peace; for you alone O lord, make me dwell in safety"
Don't go to bed angry, and don't go to bed meditating on things you can't control. God wants us to rest...physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. He wouldn't ask us to be still if it wasn't possible. There are storms in this life you and I can't control, but God can bring us to that place of peace in our life if we let Him.
