I am at rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. —Psalm 62:1
When the Revive Our Hearts program began, our ministry already had a full schedule with other events and projects. On top of that, we were now adding radio recordings—around 320 programs! For about fifteen months, I felt constantly overwhelmed, like I was in this huge ocean with a tidal wave coming over me again and again. I knew God had called me into this. Yet I honestly had moments when I didn’t think I could survive. I found myself having to repeatedly go back to the things I knew to be true about God, His calling, and His grace.
Some of you are living with circumstances and situations that are overwhelming—and they are not going away. You’ve got to tell yourself the truth:
God is sovereign.
- God is wise.
- God doesn’t make mistakes.
- God loves you.
- God’s not going to bring anything into your life except that which would be for your ultimate good.
Keep counseling your heart according to the Word of God. Tell your heart, “Hope in God.”
