This morning in prayer what a refreshing word I heard from the Lord.

I have been concerned about bills, and my job has been kind of hectic lately. Also my dad has been in the hospital. So all this together has been weighing on me.

The word that brought peace to all of this was actually two scriptures. One has been rolling around in my head for a couple days; I just couldn’t get a hold of it.

(1 Pet 5:7 NIV) Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Then this morning this scripture came and bought it home to my heart.

(John 14:20 NIV) On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

I began to think, He is in the Father, I am in him, and he is in me. Since that is true and he has everything under control what worries can I hold on to. If I take his yoke upon me and care about his cares. He will be taking care of the things I care about; the things I can’t change.

Well, peace like a river began to flow. I can trust him. He is trust worthy.

Can he trust me?

He does trust me. He trusts that all of us will pull together and get the message out. He trusts that we will care about the world and do what we can to help those in need. He has no other plan than the one he has entrusted to us.

I have never been a student of prophecy, but I see the devil rallying his troops against Israel. The rapture could very well be imminent. I sure want the Lord to find me gathering in the harvest when he returns.

In Him that is in us,

Arthur, TLIR
