Day 3: Peace In Chaos

You see the road before you.

And all you see are roadblocks.

There is CHAOS. 

There is CONFUSION.

There are the UNKNOWNS.

And then you hear the words

"COME TO ME".

You look to the left.

You look to the right.

You can't see THE ONE who is calling you.

And then you hear the words

"FOLLOW ME".

You look to the left.

You look to the right.

You can't see THE ONE who is calling you.

And then you hear the words

"TAKE COURAGE. It is I. Do not be afraid" (Matthew 14:27)

You look to the left.

You look to the right.

And then you look straight ahead.

And the roadblocks got bigger.

And then you start to run the other way.

And then you hear the words~

"FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS" (Hebrews 12:2).

And then it all makes sense in the senseless.

JESUS is the THE ONE calling you.

You turn around and see the roadblocks.

But then something happens

that is so supernatural ,

that you can't believe it is happening.

You take the first step on the road before you.

Despite the CHAOS.

Despite the CONFUSION.

Despite the UNKNOWNS.

Because JESUS is calling you.

And at that moment

PEACE overwhelms you

as you walk through

the CHAOS,

the CONFUSION

&

the UNKNOWNS.

Because

it is THE PEACE THAT TRANSCENDS ALL UNDERSTANDING,

for you can't understand how you can possibly have

PEACE,

because what you

SEE before you

 is

CHAOTIC,

that is breathing

CONFUSION

all over

the UNKNOWNS.

But because you are so focused on the

UNSEEN,

you

 FOLLOW HIS VOICE

because it is

JESUS who your eyes are so FIXED on

that nothing around you matters anymore.

For your FAITH has become bigger than your

FEAR

the moment you take the first step,

despite

the

CHAOS,

the

CONFUSION

and the

UNKNOWNS.

You can't believe that you are

actually

PRESSING FORWARD

beyond all that you

SEE and FEEL,

but is only because

you are

FOLLOWING the ONE

who called you to

COME

and to

NOT BE AFRAID.

For HIS WORDS have become your

REALITY,

so that you refuse to stop

PRESSING FORWARD,

with your

eyes

FIXED

 "not on what is seen,

 but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary,

 but what is unseen is eternal"*,

And that my friend,

 has you

continuing along the path

that GOD has set before you

because you don't walk alone.

"Therefore we do not lose heart.

 Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all"

*(2 Corinthians 4:16-18)

Oh PRESS FORWARD with the ONE who will

take you beyond

THE CHAOS,

THE CONFUSION,

and

THE UNKNOWNS,

as

you

FAST from whatever

 ROADBLOCKS

that may be before you,

that appear to be so big

that you can't believe that you will ever get past them.

BUT you WILL as you

PRESS FORWARD

with the ONE who will give you all that you need

to move beyond whatever

CHAOS,

CONFUSION,

and

UNKNOWNS

that strive to keep you standing still,

because you have chosen to

"HOLD ON"**

to the ONE who is

HOLDING on to you.
