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
frustration and delay?
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. |

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You. —Isaiah 26:3 |

Not a surge of worry, not a shade of care,
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
hands,
He puts His peace in our hearts. |

No es solo ser libre de algo (pecado, pasado, culpa), sino ser libre para algo (amar, servir, crecer). Es una liberación interna: Se trata de sanar el corazón para que ya no esté encadenado a vicios o traumas. Se basa en la Verdad: Jesús dijo: "Y conoceréis la verdad, y la verdad os hará libres" (Juan 8:32). La libertad cristiana nace de entender quiénes somos en Dios.
