Staying Calm!

“Behold, God, my salvation! I will trust and not be afraid, For the Lord God is my strength and song; Yes, He has become my salvation.” ISAIAH 12:2 AMP

The world is sinking sand. Its principles are constantly shifting and changing; its morals never certain. It has no answer to the eternal because it is itself not eternal; its end has been predicted- the world and its desires will one day pass away.

However, there is a God who is eternal in existence, eternal in planning and purpose and eternal in his gifting and calling. From before the creation of this present world, he has been in existence, and he will continue to exist long after this world has ceased to exist. The Psalmist here takes time out to introduce us to this God. God is called salvation, meaning that you get all that God is. God is also referred to as  personal Strength and Song to the Psalmist. Pictures of personal relationship.

Beyond what people say about God, who do you know God as? Have you experienced him in any personal way? Is your knowledge of God limited to what people say about him, or have you had a personal encounter that will stay with you for life? Can you trust someone you do not know, or can you commit your life into the hands of someone who you have not proven as capable?

Today, I introduce you to God, my own rock, my salvation, my strength and song. It is a personal relationship, developed from experiences with him over time. I do not boast about the  search; it was God who found me. I do not qualify by human standards; everything I know today is God introducing himself to me in manifold ways. God has proven himself; all I can do is trust him to come through for me. His time of favour is here.
