Spinning Out of Control

Isaiah 26:4
Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.

“When everyone and everything around you says to panic, choose the path of peace. In this world of broken promises, do yourself a favor: take hold of the promises of God,” (Max Lucado, ‘Glory Days’).

The world today is spinning out of control. Hmmm . . . we say that so easy as if it just started. It didn’t. It started the minute sin entered the world, way back in Genesis. God has not been trying to stop the world either. That was never His plan. I am sure He would have loved to see it happen, but it was never part of His plan. No, His plan was to stabilize His children while the world raged on and on and on.

I have a favorite Billy Joel song, ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’. One of the verses goes like this:


We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning, since the world’s been turning
We didn’t start the fire
But when we are gone
It will still burn on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on

The truth of the matter is we can’t stop the fire. The world is going to keep spinning out of control until Jesus comes again and establishes His kingdom here. What we can do is stabilize ourselves by taking hold of God’s promises, standing on the Rock eternal.

Lord, I choose to stand on your promises today. When the world says panic, I will find peace in your promises. ~amen
