THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE

". . . a catastrophe you cannot foresee will suddenly come upon you."
Isaiah 47:11b, NKJV

Ask any stress-surviors and we will testify how quickly things can change.

.

No doubt, we've all had experiences when everything was going so good, and without the slightest warning--in the twinkling of an eye--things changed.
.
Sound familiar?
.
It might be personal or professional, and even sometimes spiritual, but catastrophes can come upon us so quickly, that we're more than "knocked off our feet," we're left out on a limb, wondering what to do.
.
Now here's the big question: Is there a way to make ourselves immune to the stresses that so suddenly attack us?

.

Hardly. . . But there is hope. Stress-survivors have learned how to look for hope in whatever, or whoever, upsets us.

.

What we recommend to endure times of sudden stresses is to keep our eyes stayed on the Lord. We offer God's promise in Isaiah 26:3, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee:"

.

Stress-survivors cling to that promise like birds clinging to a single life-saving branch. We've tried it and we know it's true.

.

But don't take our word, try God yourselves and see won't He, in the twinkling of an eye, do just what He said.

Peace I leave with you . . .
