Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
~ Proverbs 3:5-6
Who was it that first said, "Life is like a merry-go-round?"
We, who've witnessed different stages of life and watched situations go up-and-down, and around-and-around, are inclined to agree.
Let's recall a particular time when we were going in circles. Remember how it stressed us to be stuck in those cycles of going around and around and never gaining or retaining a thing?
Life's ups and downs can tremendously aggravate our stresses. Not only are we thrown for unexpected loops, but we're sometimes faced with issues spinning completely out of control.
Rest assured, in any phase of life, the more around-and-around-and-around we go, the more up-up-and-away our stress will be?
What choices do we have?
What do we do when life's merry-go-round causes us stress?
Proverbs 3 offers the ultimate solution to "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart. . ." As we experience mega-stresses over going around and around in circles, let's remember to trust God.
Peace I leave with you . . .
