Chill Out!

by Janise Copeman

There are times you hear people say, “Chill Out!” Usually, someone is trying to calm down a person. It can be just a joke, but most of the time it’s an indication that something is out of sorts. We try to do too much or think we have to be the ones to be strong and in cool, calm control at all times. God forbid we let someone see how we are coming apart in pieces internally! It’s when I get alone with the Lord, or just simply say “JESUS” that I get the focus back on HIM and enter back into His peace, and His presence pours into the situation and atmosphere.

He knows the plans for us and how it is all weaving a plan. Sometimes the best plans are the ones we don’t force or make, but what the Lord allows to enfold! Believe me, His imagination, fun and creativity are so much bigger than anything we can think or do. He has unlimited sources and ways to make things happen. So many times we put Him in a box, and what He has for us is so much better if we just trust Him.

Trusting God, for some of us that may be harder than others. We feel if we don’t take care of it, no one else can do it like we can. At times we put so much burden and work on our already full plates. So, I encourage you today to “CHILL” and get alone with Jesus . Instead of stuffing it or manifesting in volatile ways, let Him heal, teach, calm, and open flood gates of His peace into that situation!

We get carried away with all the distractions, which the world is so full of, that we have to reel back in our focus, our Rock, our Anchor and wait out the storm. When we wait out the storm and trust God, everything else starts to vanish in the background and it doesn’t seem to be as big of a situation it may have been before! We are all in different phases or walks of life—home, life, family, careers, and just everyday living can overwhelm us with questions, uncertainties, fears. It’s when we step back and wait upon the Lord He will open and close doors and maneuver us to where we are supposed to be headed. We find ourselves in limbo or uncomfortable seasons in our life, we have to stand still right where we are and praise Him there until the next door or chapter opens. Knowing there is someone who sees our life as we can’t, the author and finisher of our faith. Who knows the beginning to the end, and created us for a divine purpose can set our hearts at peace. I encourage You today if you have never known JESUS and the peace that He can only give..Reach out to Him when everything else is going haywire around you, He is the calm in the storm and the ONE who whispers “PEACE BE STILL.”
