Yesterday I was given the gift of an email. I didn’t realize how Nervous Nervous What Does She Think Why Hasn’t She Maybe It’s But Then Why Would She– I had become. And then, the email was more than I even knew to look forit was Affirmation Confirmation Encouragement Excitement Hope.

“Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples! Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works! Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice! Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually! Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered” Psalm 105:1-5

My heart needs better muscle memory. When I’m caught up in the what ifs, why don’ts, why isn’ts, why can’ts, when wills, I need to remember to remember the He loves, He does, He cans, He wills, He is–always.

“Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the voice of his servant? Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.” Isaiah 50:10

My fear of the Lord is either greater or smaller than my fear of uncertainties.

“For thus says the Lord: ‘Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken, and the prey of the tyrant be rescued, for I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children.'” Isaiah 49:25
