Dealing With DelayDavid C. McCasland
Nearly
100,000 flights were canceled and millions of passengers around the
world found themselves in an enormous holding pattern on the ground.
People
missed important events, businesses lost money, and no one knew when it
would end.
  
when
our plans fall apart and there is no remedy, how do we deal with

Isaiah 26:3-4 is an anchor for our souls in every storm of life: “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for in [Jehovah], the Lord, is everlasting strength.” Whether we’re facing annoying inconvenience or heartbreaking loss, this rock-solid promise is worth memorizing and repeating every night when we close our eyes to sleep. |

Not a blast of hurry touch the spirit there.
Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest,
Finding as He promised, perfect peace and rest. —Havergal
When we put our problems in God’s

He puts His peace in our hearts. |

No que lo haya alcanzado ya, ni que ya sea perfecto; sino que prosigo, por ver si logro asir aquello para lo cual fui también asido por Cristo Jesús. Hermanos, yo mismo no pretendo haberlo ya alcanzado; pero una cosa hago: olvidando ciertamente lo que queda atrás, y extendiéndome a lo que está delante, prosigo a la meta, al premio del supremo llamamiento de Dios en Cristo Jesús. (Filipenses 3:12-14) No necesitamos quedarnos estancados en el pasado. En Cristo, tenemos una nueva oportunidad cada día.
